Manitoba RCMP are looking for a suspect in a string of robberies across southern Manitoba.

Mounties got their first report of a robbery on Sunday, when a Steinbach man said his car had been stolen.

Between Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon, officers responded to four holdups. Investigators believe the same person is responsible in all of them.

Police say the suspect was masked during the majority of the incidents and was also seen carrying a weapon.
