Waterloo regional police have released images of the car connected with at least two gun-related incidents in Kitchener last Wednesday.
Police say a man walked up to another at a gas station near Homer Watson and Conestoga College boulevards at around 3:45 a.m.
The suspect is said to have flashed a gun at his victim, before demanding they turn over their belongings.
The suspect fled the scene in a black Kia car, and was reported to be in his 20s, with dark hair and a dark mask.
Police released pictures of the Kia connected with the robbery and also said the vehicle and its driver were involved in another nearby incident.
According to police, a man was driving near Homer Watson Boulevard and Highway 401 at around 3:45 a.m., when the driver of a Kia sedan pulled up alongside him, flashed a gun and sped off.
The suspect was described as being in their 20s.
There was also a third similar incident over in Stanley Park about 40 minutes which police have yet to connect with the others.

Police say two people were driving near Franklin and Ottawa streets when they noticed they were being followed by a dark-coloured car.
The two vehicles came to a stop before the victims noticed that the driver of the suspect vehicle was recording them.
Police say the suspect pulled out a gun and flashed it at the pair before they took off.
In this case, the suspect was described as around 20 years of age with a thin build. He was said to be wearing a dark hoodie and a face mask and the suspect vehicle was a dark-coloured, four-door car.
On Friday, a police spokesperson told Global News the two incidents remain under investigation.
“Investigators are looking into any potential connections between the incident,” Const. Brad Hokcey told Global News in an email.
“The subject and vehicle descriptions are similar but neither the vehicle or driver involved in either incident have been identified at this time. We continue to ask anyone with information to contact police.”
