A suspected bank robber released from custody by accident last week was picked up by Transit Police at a Burnaby SkyTrain station Tuesday.
At about 10:15 p.m., Burnaby RCMP notified Transit Police of an armed robbery that had just happened in the 4100 block of North Road in Burnaby.
A description of the suspect was broadcast, and Transit Police officers spotted a man fitting the description walking in to Lougheed Station.
Arrested was 47-year-old Dean Richard Zastowny, who is very well known to police, according to a Transit Police press release.
Zastowny was inadvertently released from the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre late last week and was unlawfully at large, the release said.
He had originally been arrested in Surrey on Nov. 12 in connection with robberies in Burnaby and Abbotsford in October.
He is also a suspect in other robberies around the Lower Mainland, according to police.
