Suspect in seven armed robberies arrested

A 37-year-old man faces seven counts of robbery with an offensive weapon and another seven of wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence after a rash of armed robberies in Windsor.

Between April 15 and May 9, there were seven at convenience stores across the city. In each case, the suspect had a similar description and threatened workers with a weapon.

No one was hurt in any of the robberies.

The Major Crimes Unit identified the suspect and arrested him early Saturday morning as he left an apartment building on Lauzon Road.

Police ask anyone with information to call the Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700 ext 4830, Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477 or go to www.catchcrooks.com.
