One suspect in three ATM muggings

Police say one man is behind three bank machine muggings on the Mountain and are asking the public to help find him.

In the robberies, a masked man with a weapon mugged women who had just withdrawn money from automatic tellers.

“Detectives are investigating all of these incidents and believe they are related,” police said Tuesday.

In the latest robbery, a man demanded a 45-year-old woman hand over money after she exited the TD Canada Trust Bank on Upper James Street and Mohawk Road West just before midnight Sunday. She screamed and ran, police said.

On Nov. 24, just before 10:30 p.m., a 19-year-old woman at the same branch was grabbed from behind and threatened with assault if cash wasn’t turned over. “The victim turned over a small amount of cash and the suspect ran away from the area,” police said.

On Nov. 15, just before 8:30 p.m., a 35-year-old was robbed at the Royal Bank ATM at Upper James and Mohawk Road West. A man approached her from behind to rob her. She relinquished “a small amount of cash” before the suspect ran away, police said.

None of the mugging victims were injured, police said.

The suspect is a man in his 40s, about five-foot-seven and with a heavy build. He was wearing dark clothing and his face was covered.
