While investigating an unrelated incident on Redwood Avenue, police encountered a man with an outstanding warrant who was also a suspect in recent robberies.
On Oct. 4, the suspect, along with two others, stole several bottles of liquor from a Grant Avenue store.
On Oct. 12, police say the suspect argued with security at a Selkirk Avenue non-profit. He left and returned a short time later, armed with a stick hidden underneath his clothing and said he had a weapon.
The suspect stole money from the cash register, but dropped it after a struggle with employees and fled the scene.
