A suspect in two bank robberies in New Westminster this month is behind bars thanks to some help from cops in neighbouring Coquitlam and Surrey.
The robberies happened at banks downtown on Friday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 17.
The New Westminster Police Department major crime unit took over the investigation, and officers were able to identify a suspect with help from Coquitlam RCMP, who had been investigating a similar robbery in their jurisdiction, according to a press release from New Westminster police.
Shortly after the second incident in New West, the suspect was picked up by Surrey RCMP and brought back to the Royal City for booking, according to the release.
Jordan Michael Cishecki, 21, is now facing three counts of robbery – two for the incidents in New West and another for the Coquitlam robbery, which took place on Saturday, May 14.
Cishecki is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, May 25 in New Westminster. He remains in custody at this time.
