At around 11:50 a.m., a police tracking dog and officers with the Halton Police Tactical Rescue located the suspect who, police said, resisted arrest. "Police were forced to deploy the Conducted Energy Weapon (Taser) to gain the compliance of the suspect," Det. Sgt. Anthony Odoardi told the Beaver. "The suspect was eventually arrested and taken into custody. There were no physical injuries suffered by bank employees, police, (the canine unit) or the suspect as a result of this incident." At the time of the arrest, police allegedly recovered cash, clothing matching the description worn during the robbery and a firearm. The suspect cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He has been charged with robbery with a firearm and various other weapons offences, including forcible confinement, wearing a disguise during the commission of an offence and other weapons offences. He was held for a bail hearing. Police said they would like to thank members of the public who offered their assistance. "As a result of several key observations, police were able to locate and arrest an armed and dangerous person," said Odoardi.
