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.

When the officer came up to the man, he took off again and tried to get into a car, but the alarm went off and he continued running.
Police on patrol found the 26-year-old and chased after him, RCMP said, and he was soon caught and arrested.
He was found to be wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large, and faces a dozen charges. Many relate to firearms.
The investigation is ongoing, police said, and officers are trying to figure out who the driver was in the business parking lot.
