A man accused of robbing several people, including a family, at gunpoint is in custody, police say.

Tulsa Police said the first victim was getting mail at her apartment when Gaywone Blades pulled a gun on her and took her wallet.

Police said he hit another woman in the head with the gun and stole her cell phone.

Investigators said Blades held another man's family at gunpoint, hit the victim with the gun and stole their money.
