Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a man they allege robbed two businesses in the Tri-Cities last month.
The latest incident occurred on Nov. 14 in the 2700-block of Barnet Highway when a man walked into a business brandishing a handgun and demanded cash. He fled the scene after the attendant handed over an undisclosed amount of money.
Police believe it is the same suspect that was involved in a similar armed robbery at the Subway sandwich shop in Port Moody on Nov. 4.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his mid to late 30s between 5'9" and 5'11" with a medium build. He has blond hair and at the time of the incident he was wearing a red hoody with the word ZOOYORK on the front and a pair of jeans.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2015-38870. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or going online at www.solvecrime.ca.
