A man arrested in Jasper following a alleged theft in Prince George faces a count of robbery, according to court records.

Donovan Blaine Roberts, 19, and a youth who cannot be named, were apprehended in the Alberta town, four hours west of Prince George, over the Family Day long weekend.

Police had been keeping an eye out for the two in connection with thefts from a man delivering food to a Vanier Drive home that afternoon. Police have said the two were found with the man's vehicle and the food.

Roberts is known to the police and the courts. In September 2016, Roberts was sentenced to one year probation after he was found behind the wheel of a stolen sport utility vehicle the month before.
