The fourth suspect wanted in connection with a string of armed robberies has been taken into custody, Windsor police announced on Saturday.

According to a news release from the Windsor Police Service, at approximately 5 a.m. on Dec. 7, officers responded to a report of a robbery in the 1900-block of Wyandotte Street West.

Police say a male suspect approached a person inside in a parked vehicle, brandished a knife, and demanded they exit. The suspect and an accomplice stole the victim’s vehicle and wallet before fleeing.

The stolen credit and debit cards were later used at several local businesses, and the vehicle was eventually recovered in LaSalle.

Shortly after 4 a.m. on Dec. 8, officers investigated an attempted robbery near the intersection of Rankin Avenue and University Avenue. Police say a black Dodge Ram reportedly abruptly stopped in front of a person’s vehicle when a male suspect exited the truck and sprayed a noxious substance at the victim, who managed to flee and call police.

A short time later, officers responded to a third robbery in the 3400-block of Millen Street. Police say a male suspect approached an individual, demanded their car keys and cellphone, and then sprayed him with bear spray. The suspect then fled in the victim’s sedan, while a black Dodge Ram followed closely behind.

The Major Crimes Unit quickly identified all four suspects.

Three of the suspects, ranging in age from 21 to 30 years old, were arrested on Dec. 8 and 9. They face a slew of charges, including robbery with an offensive weapon, assault with a weapon, administering a noxious substance, and use of a stolen credit card.

A fourth suspect remained outstanding, but on Saturday Windsor police announced the 22-year-old suspect had been arrested shortly before 3:30 p.m. on Friday while attending a restaurant on Huron Church Road.

The suspect faces the following charges for his alleged involvement:

• Robbery with an offensive weapon
• Possession of a stolen credit card - two counts
• Use of a stolen credit card - two counts
