Police have apprehended the suspect in an armed robbery committed late last month.

 The man, whose name was not disclosed by police but is said to be a 30-year-old resident of Hadfield Street, Lodge, was being sought after he allegedly robbed a Sophia resident on October 22, 2018.

Police reports have indicated that the alleged bandit was apprehended on Monday morning at a location in Kitty; a search of his person would have also revealed that the suspect had hidden in his crotch an unlicensed 9 mm pistol with two live rounds.

 Stabroek News understands that he remains in police custody where he is being processed for court.
