By Chris Stoodley

Halifax Regional Police is investigating three robberies that occurred in the city on Friday night.

The first robbery took place just after 10 p.m. on Nov. 5. Officers responded to the report in the 1000 block of Bland Street in the south end.

At that incident, a man attempted to steal someone's vehicle while they were inside of it by spraying them with a sensory irritant.

Shortly after, the same man robbed someone in the 1100 block of Queen Street by assaulting the person and taking their belongings.

Then, the man threatened a third person in the 5600 block of Spring Garden Road and demanded their wallet.

“The suspect was later located in the 2400 block of Cragg Avenue and was arrested and charged for the three incidents of robbery,” an HRP news release says.

All three incidents occurred between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Anyone with information about this incident or the identity of the suspect is asked to call police at 902-490-5016. Anonymous tips can be sent to Crime Stoppers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submitting a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca or using the P3 Tips App.
