The victim heard the driver’s door open and assumed it was her husband, but it was a stranger pointing a gun at her and telling her to get out.
The suspect drove off, but a short time later, the vehicle crashed into a hydro police in the 6200 block of 238A St.
An officer with a police dog was nearby and tracked the suspect who was found hiding in a garden shed.
A search found the gun, which turned out to be a very realistic looking replica.
Dustin Joseph Murphy, 31, has been charged with robbery and other offences.
