Suspect charged after two searches of a Dartmouth home

Halifax Regional Police were called to a Roleika Drive apartment building around 10:30 Friday morning after a report of a disturbance.

When they arrived, they learned that a man armed with a knife had assaulted two people before taking off in a nearby vehicle.

A short time later, police set up a perimeter around a residence in the 100 block of Slayter Street after spotting the suspect’s vehicle.

  • Aggravated assault
  • Assault with a weapon (x2)
  • Possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace
