Peace Regional RCMP say a Spruce Grove man has been charged after a robbery in Peace River.

Mounties got a report of a robbery at a Fas Gas location just after 10:30 Thursday night. The suspect held a knife on the clerk, took money from the till and left on foot.

Police say they contained the area and called in the Police Dog Service.

The man called out to police, saying he was in the bushes by the river bed. He was taken in after what Mounties call “a short confrontation.”

Twenty-five-year-old Darcey Lloyd Brett is facing charges of robbery with an offensive weapon, disguise with intent, mischief under $5000 and resisting arrest.
