RIDGE MEADOWS, B.C. – A 36-year-old man, who was arrested for robbing a Bank of Montreal branch in Maple Ridge on March 4, has now been charged with six previous robberies in the province’s Lower Mainland as well, according to a press release from the Lower Mainland District RCMP. Identified as Thomas Dennis Prosser, the suspect also robbed three banks in Surrey and two in Langley, in a series of incidents that began on Jan. 26; he also attempted to rob the Westminster Savings Credit Union in Langley on Feb. 17, but did not succeed in obtaining any money from the bank. The Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit investigators had already viewed photographs of a suspect in the series of robberies before Prosser’s arrest. “It was only a matter of time before the Lower Mainland collective policing community would catch this man,” said Supt. Murray Power, Officer in Charge of the Langley RCMP, as quoted in the release, dated March 13. “I am pleased that charges have been laid and the suspect is in custody.” Prosser remains in custody, with a pending court appearance.
