A man wanted across Canada is now behind bars after being caught in The Pas, Man.
On Monday evening, RCMP got a call about a man pointing a gun.
Police said it was determined the man came up to a car in a business parking lot on Dufferin Street. There, the 26-year-old suspect pointed a handgun at the driver, took a shotgun from them and ran away, officers said.
Not long after, RCMP said an off-duty officer saw the man climbing onto a garage.
