A new robbery charge relates to a Vancouver incident.

A man who had been scheduled to be in court June 14 missed that appearance because he was allegedly committing a robbery that day, court records indicate.

Judge Ellen Gordon denied Steven James McQueen bail on June 15.

Records show the 47-year-old was due in Downtown Community Court on a theft-under-$5,000 charge.

That related to an April 24 allegation of theft from a London Drugs. He received bail on that charge.

He was also on bail after appearing on a charge of obstructing the operation of a Vancouver 7-Eleven April 9.

McQueen also received bail after being charged with theft under $5,000 in connection with an incident at a Vancouver London Drugs May 2.

The new robbery charge relates to a Vancouver incident.

Details of bail hearings are covered by a publication ban.

However, McQueen also faces a charge of failing to comply with a March 31 court order from Alberta Court of King’s Bench alleging failure to comply with an order that he failed to report to a registration centre Aug. 22-Sept. 22, 2022.

The court information on that case notes McQueen previously went by the name Steven James Petiquan.

For that name, court files from Vancouver, Nanaimo, New Westminster, Abbotsford and Port Coquitlam show guilty findings on the following charges: possession of stolen property, theft under $5,000, breach of recognizance, breaches of probation, assaulting a police officer and failure to provide a sample.
