Charged in 2015 robbery

A robbery charge has been laid against a man in Vernon, a year and a half after the crime took place.

In August 2015, a 20-year-old woman who was sleeping in her vehicle in a parking lot near 30th Street and 29th Avenue, was awoken when a man smashed her window.

The man reached into the car and tried to grab her purse and phone .

The woman, attempting to hold on to her possessions, was dragged through the broken window and assaulted, before the man took off on a bike with the stolen items.

On Feb. 6, 2017, 31-year-old Shane Gaudry, who is currently in custody on another matter, was charged with the 2015 robbery.

Police have not said what evidence led to the charge.

Gaudry is scheduled to appear in court on March 6.

Gaudry has an extensive criminal record, dating back to a sexual interference of a person under 16 conviction in 2006.
