Police released surveillance photos of the robber, who was wearing a dark green jacket and a beige mask, and asked the public for help identifying him. Gray was identified and taken into custody Wednesday evening.

Working with the Ada County Sheriff's Office, Meridian Police were able to link Gray to unrelated crimes, leading to the burglary charges, police say. 

Gray is currently held in the Ada County Jail, and is due to appear in court Thursday afternoon.
