A man police described as “armed and dangerous” is now in police custody.

RCMP issued an Alberta-wide warrant for Jarred Genaille last week following a violent armed home invasion in Exshaw, Alta.

Police said a man knocked on the door of a residence in Exshaw at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20. The homeowner answered the door, at which time the suspect forced his way inside.

The victim was allegedly robbed at knifepoint before the suspect took off in a dark grey Toyota Rav4, which was also stolen from the home.

Police said Genaille was arrested by Chestermere RCMP early Sunday morning.

He’s facing several charges including robbery, break and enter, forcible confinement, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from police.
