Halifax police have charged a man in relation to a crime spree that included five armed robberies over four days last week in Dartmouth.

The 26-year-old faces multiple charges, including robbery with a firearm, threats, and theft under $5,000.

Halifax Regional Police say the first incident was on Oct. 29 at the Bass Pro Shops in Dartmouth Crossing, where they say merchandise was stolen.

Two days later, a gas station on Highfield Park Drive was robbed, police say. In that case, a man “indicated he had a weapon,” threatened an employee, and demanded cigarettes, police say.

A man was arrested at a residence on Yorkshire Avenue at around 9:15 p.m. on Nov. 2 in relation to the robberies and a parole suspension warrant.

According to police, a replica firearm was seized.
