Victoria police searching for suspect after string of robberies

CHEK

Victoria police are asking the public for help in finding a suspect that may be connected to a string of robberies in the city.

On Thursday around 7:40 p.m. officers were called to a Subway on Fort and Foul Bay after reports of an armed robbery.

The suspect demanded the contents of the register and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

There were several other customers and staff in the Subway at the time, but no one was hurt.

Witnesses say he was last seen fleeing northbound on Fort Street.

He was described as a white man who was wearing a grey balaclava, black shirt and dark pants.

Investigators from the major crimes division now believe the same suspect is related to two other robberies.

Earlier that same day a suspect had stolen money and cigarettes from a business on the 800-block of Bay Street just after midnight.

On April 5 a business on the 2900-block of Douglas Street also had money and cigarettes stolen.

Police hope that a member of the public will possibly recognise the suspect from photos taken from surveillance footage.

Anyone with information on the man or incident is asked to contact police at (250) 995-7654 or to Crime Stoppers.
