He’s also facing the following charges in relation to the hotel robbery.

The NRP is looking for a wanted man who is considered armed and dangerous. 

A 42-year-old man is wanted for several weapons-related offences after a robbery in Niagara Falls. 

Police say three men tried to force their way into a hotel room in the Kalar Road and Beaverdams Road area Sunday evening. 

The victim was not hurt and he says one of the men was carrying a gun. 

Other hotel guests became aware of the situation, so the suspects fled the scene on foot. 

Police say the men jumped a fence into a nearby backyard, where another man was playing with his children. 

The father tried to protect his kids, and one of the suspects slashed him with a knife while another pointed a gun at him. 

The suspects took off in a car and the father was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. 

Officers found the car at another hotel in the Walnut Street and Ellen Ave area. 

They arrested and charged four people.

The 42-year-old man is wanted for robbery with a firearm, pointing a firearm, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon other than a restricted or prohibited firearm without holding a license, failing to comply with a release order and failing to comply with probation.
