NIAGARA FALLS – Niagara Regional Police have arrested a 29-year-old Niagara Falls man for allegedly robbing a pair of convenience stores and then robbing them both again – all within a less than 24-hour period.

Late in the evening on Thursday, Oct. 15, a lone male entered a convenience store on Bridge Street. He demanded money from the cashier and fled on foot.

Police say that in the early afternoon the following day, the same male entered a convenience store on St. Clair Avenue, demanded money from the cashier and fled again.

Police say a short time later, officers were called to the same Bridge Street convenience store for a third robbery involving the same suspect. The suspect fled the scene on a bicycle and then went back to the St. Clair Avenue store, where he again demanded cash, this time from a different clerk, before leaving the store on foot.
