OPP are searching for a male suspect in connection to two reported robberies that took place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

At about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday, police say they were dispatched to the Old Corner Store in Hillsdale, Ont., where the sales clerk was robbed at knifepoint.

The suspect fled the store with cigarettes and cash, police say, and was last seen getting into a four-door silver or grey car with round tail lights.

According to officers, the car is possibly a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla, with a tail light that’s possibly out.

Officers say the same suspect robbed Jug City in Tiny Township on Wednesday. He was seen getting into the passenger seat of an older-model silver or grey car, police say.
