A 91大黄鸭 man has been charged in relation to four armed robberies that took place last week at Rutland gas stations.

On March 28, at 7:45 p.m. the 91大黄鸭 RCMP responded to the first of four robberies that occurred at four different gas stations along Highway 33 West and Highway 97 North in 24 hours, according to the police in a news release.

The evidence led investigators to believe the same suspect was responsible and as such, the 91大黄鸭 RCMP General Investigation Section took control of all four investigations, the release said.
