At 3:08 p.m. on March 15, the 100 Mile House RCMP received a 9-1-1 call from a youth reporting he had been robbed.
The youth explained he was riding on a passenger bus between Kamloops and Williams Lake when he was approached by a 27-year-old man who told the youth to give him his money. When the youth refused, the suspect feigned he may have a weapon.
The youth, feeling intimidated by the suspect, gave the man his money. Upon arriving in 100 Mile House, the youth called 9-1-1.
Officers attended the Greyhound bus depot and arrested the suspect and a 15-year-old male who was believed to be his accomplice.
Investigation revealed the 27-year-old was acting alone, and the 15-year old was released into the custody of his parents without charge.
Further investigation revealed that while in Kamloops, the suspect also attempted to obtain money unsuccessfully from another passenger.
Charges are pending.
Upon arrest, it was also discovered the suspect had recently been freed from custody and he had not complied to court-determined conditions for release.
