HALIFAX — Police have arrested a man wanted in relation to a robbery of a bank in downtown Dartmouth last month.

On Oct. 9, Halifax Regional Police say a man walked into the Scotiabank at 91 Portland St., jumped the counter and then allegedly took cash from the teller.

Police said no weapon was seen and no injuries reported.

The man then ran from the store on foot with an unknown amount of money.

On Friday, police announced that an arrest warrant was issued for 43-year-old Peter Guy Joseph Monteith.

“He is believed to be in the Halifax-area and police are currently searching for him,” a statement said from police. “Members of the public are asked to not approach Monteith or take matters into their own hands.”

On Friday night, police issued an update to say they had arrested Monteith at a residence in Dartmouth. He’ll appear in court on Monday.

The robbery is one of three to take place in downtown Dartmouth over the past month.

This same Scotiabank was robbed on Oct. 15, police have said.

Also on Oct. 25, a man wearing a ski mask and armed with a knife robbed the Heritage Credit Union at 155 Ochterloney St. around 1:20 p.m.

In an email, police spokesman Const. John MacLeod said they are investigating the possibility that all three robberies could involve the same person.
