Waterloo Regional Police have announced new charges for a man arrested after an armed robbery in Kitchener earlier this month.
On Oct. 2 at around 8:30 p.m. officers were called to the Green Valley Drive and Mill Park Drive area for a reported gunpoint robbery.
The victim, who initially went to a home in the area to purchase a vehicle advertised for sale online, told police they were approached by two male suspects in a vehicle and robbed at gunpoint.
No one was hurt.
A 31-year-old man and a 36-year-old man, both from Kitchener, were charged with multiple robbery, theft and weapon charges.
On Wednesday, police said the 31-year-old man has been identified as a suspect in two other robberies involving a firearm in North Dumfries Township on Aug. 22 and in Waterloo on July 13.
The man now faces additional charges including two counts of robbery with a weapon, three counts of kidnapping and disguise with intent.
