A man accused of robbing a woman at gunpoint in Cheektowaga is facing multiple charges.

Miguel Cruz, 43, was arrested near his home in West Seneca Friday.

Police say the alleged incident happened around 11:40 a.m. in Cheektowaga's Thruway Plaza.

They say a woman told officers she was leaving M&T Bank when the suspect approached her with a gun and demanded money. 

He then drove away in a brown SUV. Investigators used a partial license plate number to identify Cruz.

They recovered the woman's money and the gun used in the robbery.

Cruz is facing felony robbery, criminal possession of a controlled substance and stolen property charges.

He's set to be arraigned Saturday.
