Authorities said Wayne Burston, 27, was tracked to a Pleasant Street apartment, where he surrendered without a fight on Tuesday.
WARE -- Police arrested an armed robbery suspect early Tuesday morning after tracking him to an apartment in Ware.
Police said Wayne Burston, 27, did not put up a fight when a team of law enforcement officers descended on 95B Pleasant St. shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Authorities declined to say what specifically led them to Burston, who was wanted in connection with an April 10 gunpoint robbery in Ware and was believed to be armed and dangerous.
Burston, whose last known address was on Canal Street in Ware, was charged with three counts of armed robbery and single counts of carrying a gun without a license and using a firearm during a felony. He was expected to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Eastern Hampshire District Court, but the outcome of that event was not immediately known.
Members of the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and officers from the Ware and Worcester police departments took part in the operation, which went smoothly, according to a Ware police official.
The official said Burston was found in a rear bedroom inside the Pleasant Street apartment.
Police said Ware's alleged accomplice, Michael J. Estridge, 21, was previously charged in connection with the robbery, which occurred on Cherry Street. When Burston could not be located after the incident, authorities issued a warrant for his arrest.
Burston and Estridge are accused of robbing three individuals, one of whom claimed Burston stuck a gun in his face and told him to empty his wallet, according to police.
