An Edmonton business was robbed by a man with a shotgun last month.

The man went into what police have described as a retail smoke shop at 150 Street and 87 Avenue at 7:50 p.m. on March 22 carrying the gun.

He pointed the gun at the cashier and demanded cash, police said.

He took money from the till, left the store, and drove off in a newer white Ram 1500 truck.

On Tuesday, police released a description and photos of the thief, asking for the public's help locating him and warning he should not be approached as he could be armed and dangerous. 

The next day, Edmonton Police Service said a 39-year-old man had been arrested and taken into custody. 

"Once charges are laid, further information will be provided," a spokesperson said.
