A man accused of a string of robberies in east Multnomah County was arrested at gunpoint Wednesday night, according to police.

Police officers and deputies then pulled over Robin Peart, 24, at Fairview Avenue and Park Lane. Officers surrounded him in a parking lot and took him into custody.

Deputies said they believe Peart is responsible for at least six robberies at area tanning salons and pizza parlors.

Papa Murphy's shops on Stark Street and Division Street in Gresham were robbed earlier this month.

A Figaro's Pizza in Troutdale, a Cali Tan tanning salon on Highland Drive in Gresham and a Cabana Tan tanning salon in Fairview were also hit.

Peart was charged with six counts of first-degree robbery.

He is being held on $1.5 million bail.
