A day after police announced they had found and arrested a man suspect in a series of personal robberies at ATMs, police said they have laid nearly a dozen charges.
On Monday, police said Jason James Gamble, 31, had been charged with three counts each of robbery, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and breach of probation, two counts each of assault causing bodily harm and a charge of aggravated assault.
