A former Disney child actor has been charged in a bank robbery on the Sunshine Coast in B.C.
Sunshine Coast RCMP said this “rare” bank robbery took place in Sechelt on April 28.
Deleriyes Joe Cramer, 42, who now lives in Gibsons was arrested on May 1. Cramer, who acted under the name Joey Cramer, starred in Disney’s Flight of the Navigator in 1986. He has not acted since 1996.
Cramer reportedly wore a disguise during the robbery, but RCMP said he is known to police.
Despite the fact that a disguise was used during the robbery, the suspect was quickly identified by some of our officers, who had recently dealt with him on an unrelated matter,
Cst Harrison Mohr with Sunshine Coast RCMP said. We hope that the community feels safer now that the suspect has been apprehended.
Cramer has been charged with robbery, disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, failing to stop for a peace officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
RCMP said the latter two charges stem from an incident the day after the robbery, when Cramer allegedly fled in a vehicle in Sechelt when an officer tried to stop him.
RCMP are asking anyone with information about the robbery, or about a male purchasing or discarding a disguise, including a shoulder-length wig, bandanna, and dark jacket with a reddish design on the back, to contact Sunshine Coast RCMP at (604) 885-2266.
