A 27-year-old Fort McMurray man is in custody following an armed robbery last week.

Wood Buffalo RCMP responded to reports of a break and enter in the Timberlea area last Thursday, August 1, around 11:10 a.m.

The Mounties say a man broke into the home, used a firearm to assault an individual, and proceeded to rob the victim.

The person in the home called 911 after the suspect left and was taken to hospital with unspecified injuries.

Adam Ross now faces a number of charges including;

• Break & Enter to a residence
• Robbery with a firearm
• Aggravated assault
• Possession of a prohibited weapon when knowing possession is unauthorized
• Possession of a weapon contrary to order
• Fail to comply with a recognizance

Ross remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in a Fort McMurray courtroom on August 19.
