Burnaby Mounties notched an assist last week for the arrest of a 26-year-old man wanted on a firearms-related warrant in Alberta.
The suspect had allegedly pointed a gun at another person inside a home in Airdrie, Alta. on Feb. 4.
Mounties say the man fled the scene with the weapon before returning a short time later to retrieve several rifles.
RCMP responded to the home, but by that time the suspect had left.
A search revealed a hockey bag containing imitation firearms, ammunition, holsters and a pistol magazine.
The suspect was identified as 26-year-old Cody Theodore Fowlie of Airdrie, and a warrant for his arrest was issued on Feb. 6.
RCMP in Alberta contacted the Burnaby detachment on Feb. 7, providing information that Fowlie was at an address in the 7000-block of Inlet Drive, according to Burnaby RCMP.
He was arrested without incident that day.
Fowlie faces a number of charges, including assault, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.
