The crime spree lasted between March 21 and Aug. 15.

During that time, a number of Winnipeg gas stations, convenience stores and other small businesses were hit.

It’s alleged the suspect distracted the clerk in each instance before stealing sleeves of lottery tickets.

Members of the major crime unit went to a home in St. George, Manitoba on Saturday where they located and arrested a man.

Jonathan Roy Fitzsimmons, 29, faces 32 charges of theft under $5000, along with robbery and weapon offenses.
