Last November, an ambulance was called to help a woman who passed out on a bench inside Old Quebec Street Shoppes.

When she woke up, she told investigators that cash had been stolen from her belongings.

Surveillance video reportedly showed a man sitting beside her and pretending to help, while reaching into her plastic shopping bag and taking out an envelope with $300 inside.

Investigators found and arrested the man in the downtown on Thursday.

A 33-year-old will appear in court on Feb. 27.
