“With the assistance of the Integrated Forensic Identification Services, a suspect was identified, and later arrested at his Surrey residence on March 3, 2021.”
Const. Joshua Bloomfield, Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit, said Mounties are looking to the beginning of the court process for Henderson.
“Robberies are traumatic incidents for victims because they often include a threat of violence or assault,” Bloomfield said in the release. “We hope that for the victims of these four robberies, the charges that have been laid bring them a sense of justice.”
