Waterloo Regional Police believe that a pair of gas station robberies, which occurred in the townships on Thursday night, are connected.
The first one is said to have occurred at the Esso gas station at Fischer-Hallman Road and New Dundee Road, shortly before 8 p.m. in North Dumfries.
Police said that a man entered the store, flashed a knife, and demanded money from the store clerk.
A similar scene played out just over an hour later at the Pioneer gas station near Victoria Street North and Shantz Station Road in Woolwich.
Again, police say a man entered the store, flashed a blade at the employee behind the counter, and demanded money.
Police say the two incidents are related.
They have also released a photo of the suspect who is described as being five feet 10 inches tall with an average build.
Police say anyone with information can call the robbery unit at 519-570-9777 ext. 8255 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
