The 54-year-old Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­man was apprehended Thursday night and was in possession of a replica handgun and other weapons, the VPD stated Oct. 22 in a media release.

“We are very thankful for the heads-up person who recognized the suspect and called our tip line immediately,” says Constable Tania Visintin, VPD. 

Firearm-related charges have been recommended to Crown counsel.
