Bank robber finally called police on a cellphone

It took not one but two abortive high-speed police chases before the suspected bank robber finally called police on a cellphone and meekly gave himself up.

By then police had called up three sniffer dog units and a helicopter, while the man stopped the car, described as a dark Lincoln-type model by Trail RCMP three kilometres up Stuart Creek Road west of Christina Lake.

Trail RCMP later identified the man as Beau Charles Bellrichard.
