A 34-year-old Delta man has been arrested and is facing charges following a gas station robbery in Tsawwassen last week.
Just after 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 5, Delta police responded to a report of a robbery at a gas station in Tsawwassen. The suspect allegedly demanded money from the cash register, and produced a knife.
After stealing a quantity of cash and lottery tickets, the suspect fled. Police attended and contained the area, but the suspect had already left the scene.
“Our officers immediately began an investigation, collecting evidence to assist in identifying the suspect,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “The allegation of a weapon being used in a situation such as this was very concerning to our officers. Fortunately no one was injured.”
Leykauf said Marc Joseph Schofield was arrested by police on Feb. 8 without incident. He is facing three charges related to the robbery and carrying a weapon.
Schofield is known to police. He is currently in custody and will next appear in Surrey provincial court on Feb. 19.
