R-C-M-P say a 30-year-old man from Morden has been charged in a string of robberies at financial institutions in southern Manitoba. Police say thousands of dollars were taken in five robberies between November 10th and January 3rd in Glenboro, Steinbach, Lowe Farm, and Miami.
The major crimes unit noticed similarities in the robberies -- including in the suspect's clothing and the notes handed to tellers. The note would state that it was a robbery, then the suspect would flee the scene. The suspect made away with cash in each robbery except the one in Steinbach. No injuries were reported and no weapon was used.
Police say a suspect arrested Monday has been charged with five counts of robbery.
