VicPD have released surveillance images of a suspect believed to be involved in two armed robberies at gas stations earlier this month.
According to police, the incidents occurred on April 6th at two separate locations in the city.
Police say officers were first called to a gas station in the 3000-block of Shelbourne Street at around 9:15 p.m., after a man allegedly pointed a gun at a staff member and demanded money.
Roughly 25 minutes later, a second robbery was reported at a gas station in the 1900-block of Oak Bay Avenue.
No physical injuries were reported in either incident, though staff were left shaken.
Police believe the same suspect is responsible for both robberies, citing similarities in timing and description. Police now say a vehicle may have been used.
The suspect is described as a man around 40-years-old with a heavy build.
At the time of the incidents, he was wearing a white baseball cap, a blue sweater with a red Reebok logo, grey pants, and blue latex gloves.
VicPD’s Major Crime Unit is leading the investigation and is asking for the public’s help in identifying the individual.
Anyone with information who has not yet spoken with investigators is asked to contact the E-Comm non-emergency line at (250) 995-7654.
