One man remains in custody after Yellowknife officers responded to a report of an armed robbery on Airport Road Friday night.
On April 18 at approximately 8:24 p.m. the Yellowknife RCMP detachment received a call reporting that a male suspect attempted to rob a business on Old Airport Road with a knife.
It was reported that the man fled the scene approximately 25 minutes prior to the call.
Police responded, including members of the Police Dog Services Unit and Forensic Identification Unit.
While conducting the investigation, officers realized that the robbery suspect was a person that they had just released from custody after executing an unrelated outstanding arrest warrant.

Drybones is facing charges under the Criminal Code including:
- Robbery, contrary to section 344
- Uttering threats, contrary to section 264.1(1)(a)

- Possession of property obtained by crime under $5000, contrary to section 354(1)(a)
- Mischief under $5000, contrary to section 430(4)
Drybones appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded into custody.
