Niagara Regional Police believe the same suspect is responsible for an assault and attempted robbery at a gas station in West Lincoln, as well as a bank robbery in Grimsby.
Around 3 p.m. Monday, police say a man driving a stolen 2008 grey GMC Canyon pickup truck went to the Esso gas station on Regional Road 20.
After getting some gas, police say the suspect entered the store, produced a knife and allegedly assaulted the employee while demanding money.
However, the gas station attendant was able to fight off the suspect who took off in the stolen truck.
