A Fraser Valley resident is facing several robbery charges after he allegedly robbed several banks in New Westminster and Vancouver earlier this month.
The spree of alleged bank robberies happened between Dec. 8 and 10. New Westminster police say that during that time, two uptown banks were robbed, along with five banks in Vancouver. Local police were able to identify a suspect, and on Dec. 11, he was arrested by Vancouver police.
Dana Scott Dacey, a 51-year-old from Chilliwack, is now facing numerous counts of robbery, including six counts for the alleged New Westminster incidents.
“Robberies have an element of violence and are dangerous for the public,” Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a media release. “The efforts of our detectives and officers from the VPD, led to the successful arrest of Mr. Dacey, who will be appearing before the courts for these offences.”
Dacey is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 14, 2016, to fix a date. He remains in custody at this time.
