BURNABY — Police say a man linked to a string of armed robberies in Metro Vancouver late last year has been arrested during a raid at a local home.

Burnaby RCMP say the 35-year-old man was taken into custody on Dec. 10 after Mounties and Vancouver police emergency teams served a search warrant on a home in Vancouver.

The man has since been released, and police say the investigation is ongoing.

Police say the man is suspected in three armed robberies in October and November.

The first crime was on Oct. 27, when a Burnaby business reported being robbed by someone wielding a weapon.
