An armed robbery at a Dauphin, Man., business led to the arrest of a Saskatoon man Sunday night, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers were called to the scene on Main Street South around 8:30 p.m., and learned that an unknown man had entered the store, armed with a gun and wearing a face covering, and demanded cash from the register before taking off on foot.
With the help of police dog Marook, who found a bag of discarded clothes in an alley, RCMP tracked the suspect to the back lane of 6th Avenue East and arrested him.
