A suspect in three armed robberies in the North End was arrested on firearms and ammunition charges after officers recovered a loaded handgun from him, Boston police announced Saturday night.

Dante Mirabella, 53, of Boston was taken into custody around 9:15 p.m. Friday near Charter Street and Jackson Avenue, police said in a statement.

Officers patrolling the neighborhood observed a man matching the description of a suspect wanted in connection for robberies earlier in the week on Commercial, Merrimac and Endicott streets, according to the statement.
