A New Westminster man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a business owner on 12th Street last fall.
On Sept. 10, 2014, local police officers were called to the 600 block of 12th Street on reports a fight was underway. By the time officers arrived, the suspect was gone. The victim sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Because of the severity of the alleged attack, investigators with the department’s major crime unit took over the case.
Thursday, police arrested a 29-year-old New Westminster man in connection with this incident, stated a media release from the police department.
David Faucher is now facing several charges, including one count of robbery, one count of aggravated assault, one count of possession of counterfeit money and one count of uttering counterfeit money (meaning the accused either offered to or used counterfeit money as if it were genuine currency).
Faucher was released from custody with conditions. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 4.
