Police in Barrie, Ont., are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect they believe to be responsible for three convenience store robberies over the last month.
On Jan. 17, police say a lone male entered a variety store in a plaza at Duckworth Street and Grove Street East armed with two-edged weapons.
Police say the man made a demand for cash and fled on foot.
Police say the second robbery happened on Feb. 8, around 11:35 p.m., at a convenience store located in a plaza on the south side of Cundles Road W., west of Bayfield Street, when the suspect again produced an edged weapon and demanded cash before fleeing on foot.
The third robbery happened on Saturday around 9:52 p.m., when a male suspect, again armed with two-edged weapons, entered the same variety store as on Jan. 17 and demanded cash.
