Thunder Bay’s police have arrested a suspect accused of robbing the same business twice.

Officers initially responded to a business on Simpson Street on May 15 after receiving a report of a robbery.

A man with his face covered entered the building holding a knife and demanded money.

The suspect fled before police arrived.

On May 17, police were called to the same location for another robbery.

A man with a similar appearance to the suspect from the first robbery entered the business and demanded money.

Again, the suspect fled before officers arrived.

Further investigation led to a suspect being identified.

They were located and arrested on Tuesday.

As a result, a 43-year-old is facing three charges, including:

• Robbery (two counts)
• Disguise with intent

The accused remains in custody with a future court date.
