Vaulter Bandit: Bank robber wanted in Canada arrested in Geneva

The most wanted bank robber in Canada has been placed under arrest in Geneva.

The French-American citizen, nicknamed “The Vaulter”‘ but not identified by name, had been sought under an international arrest warrant issued by Canada in connection with 22 bank robberies over the last five years.

The Canadian Bankers Association had offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Geneva police spokesman Jean-Philippe Brandt said Wednesday that the 53-year-old suspect was intercepted by plainclothes police while he was driving a compact car on a Geneva street on Tuesday, and taken into custody without incident.

Police allege the robber first struck in York Region in February 2010 and since then has hit banks in Mississauga, Hamilton, Vaughan, Toronto and Ottawa, as well as some in Calgary.

He is being held pending extradition procedures.

Police said he could face life in prison if convicted.
