His arrest stems from an alleged armed robbery on Sept. 1 on George Street. Police say just before 1 a.m. two men brandishing weapons grabbed a man and took his wallet, removed the cash and handed the empty wall back to the victim.

Police say the suspects fled and then met up with a group of individuals.

Police say surveillance images released Monday helped them identify suspects in the incident.
