On October 15th, a fast-food restaurant in Abbotsford was the scene of a robbery. An employee was physically assaulted during the incident, and the perpetrator fled with stolen money. Police responded quickly, locating the suspect leaving on a motorcycle.
Due to the suspect's dangerous driving, officers did not initiate a pursuit to ensure public safety. The 35-year-old suspect, identified as Walther De Bruin, was arrested later that evening in Burnaby with assistance from the Vancouver Police Department.
De Bruin has been charged with robbery, disguise with intent, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and flight from police. He is currently in custody and is scheduled for a court appearance on November 10th. On the same date, he will also address charges from an alleged assault and uttering threats incident in Chilliwack that occurred on the same day as the Abbotsford robbery. Additional charges include breaching a probation order.
