Granite City, IL (KSDK) - Police have arrested the man they believe is responsible for a residential robbery in which a large collection of Superman memorabilia was stolen.
On Thursday, Granite City Police responded to a robbery in the 1800 block of Delmar in Granite City, Illinois.
A 76-year-old man reported he was robbed of jewelry and money when he hired a man to clean up a vacant business lot.
The victim received minor injuries, and based on his description of the suspect, police determined he was the same man the Madison Police Department had been dealing with him on an unrelated incident.
The suspect has been identified as 37-year-old Gerry Arville Armbruster.
During the investigation, detectives were able to link Armbruster to the stealing of Superman items in August. All memorabilia was recovered and returned to the owner.
Armbruster was charged Friday with one count of residential burglary, one count of robbery, and one count of aggravated battery of a senior citizen.
He is currently at the Granite City Police Department, and will be transferred to the Madison County jail.
Bond has been set at $100,000.
