Devon Beguin charged with six counts of Robbery

 Today (October 19th), Devon Skyler Beguin will appear in Surrey Provincial Court on a 14-count information relating to bank robberies around the Lower Mainland.

Beguin was arrested in Langley on September 24th after allegedly committing a bank robbery and has remained in custody since that time. On Friday, October 14th, a new, all-encompassing information was laid alleging six robberies, one attempted robbery, six counts of Wearing a Mask with Intent to Commit an Offence and one count of Uttering Threats. These offences are alleged to have occurred in Langley, Surrey, New Westminster and Coquitlam over a five-day span from September 19th through to the 24th.

The last robbery believed to be attributed to Beguin took place just prior to 10:00 a.m. on September 24th. Langley RCMP was alerted to a male who entered the foyer of a bank wearing a balaclava. Fortunately, that bank had not yet opened for business so the male left on foot. Having been made aware of this suspicious male, officers were now in the area so when a second bank reported a robbery just after 10:00, they were able to arrest Devon Beguin, the alleged robber, as he exited the bank.

No weapon was produced during the robbery, however a search of Begui revealed he had a scratch awl and bear bangers in his possession. Fortunately, no one was injured during any of the aforementioned robberies.

Devon Beguin is a 30-year-old male of no fixed address.
