A robbery at a Royston business in July has led to a woman being arrested and charged.
39-year-old Janessa Wilson has been charged with a robbery that happened on July 21 at a business in the 3900-block of Island Highway South.
Police were called to the area after a report of a woman brandishing a weapon and demanding cigarettes and lottery tickets at a business before fleeing the area on foot and entering the backyard of a nearby residence.
Wilson was arrested three days later on July 24 after a search warrant was executed at a residence in Royston.
Officer in charge of the Comox Valley RCMP Inspector Scott Mercer said they’re grateful to members of the public who provided vital information leading to the arrest.
“This arrest is the result of an excellent collaborative response by frontline members, Police Dog Services, Forensic Identification Services, and Major Crime Unit investigators.”
Anyone with additional information about the incident is asked to contact the Comox Valley RCMP.
