Police say six armed robberies reported in Mishawaka and South Bend since Jan. 6 were likely committed by the same person.
Robberies have been reported at:
- Family Video, 5714 N. Main St., Mishawaka — Jan. 6, Jan. 10, Jan. 23
- Tiki Tan, 3622 E. Edison Road Suite 500, South Bend — Jan. 13
- JJ’s Fish and Chicken, 3622 E. Edison Road Suite 400, South Bend — Jan. 17
- Dollar Tree, 2352 Miracle Lane, Mishawaka — Jan. 25
Police believe the same man committed all of the robberies because they happened close together in a short period of time and because the suspects in some of the robberies mentioned having a sick child.
Michiana Crime Stoppers featured the spree in a public service announcement, but tips lead police to a suspect who was already in jail, the South Bend Tribune reported.
Tips are still needed.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to contact Michiana Crime Stoppers at 574-288-7867.
