In a press release, Toronto police said they responded to three incidents between June 24 and July 9 in the Fashion District, The Beaches and the Church and Wellesley area.

Police said that in each incident a man went into a bank with his identity disguised and approached a bank teller. He then handed the employee a note saying a robbery was taking place and demanded “a large amount of cash,” according to police.

Police said in two of the three incidents the man allegedly fled with cash.

On Thursday, Toronto police located the suspect and took him into custody. Officers also executed a search warrant at his home.

Police said the man possessed a pellet handgun, glasses, a wig and a “handwritten hold-up note.”
