The robbery of a Subway by a knife-wielding suspect in Ann Arbor on Wednesday afternoon could be related to two other similar crimes, police said.
A man with a knife walked into the Subway located at 885 W. Eisenhower Parkway in Ann Arbor and demanded money from the employee just before 4:29 p.m. Wednesday, according to a release from the Ann Arbor police.
The clerk complied and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, Detective William Stanford said.
The suspect was described as a black male in his 20s, with short dark curly hair and a medium build, between 5-feet 8-inches and 5-feet 10-inches tall, 150 pounds, wearing a dark plaid shirt and dark pants.
It could be the same suspect who robbed the GameStop on Washtenaw Avenue and the Biggby Coffee on Stadium Boulevard in April and May, Stanford said. Investigators were still reviewing the Subway's surveillance footage Thursday to better determine any link.
On April 30, a man walked into GameStop, located at 3225 Washtenaw Ave., and robbed the store at knifepoint.
A few days later, on May 2, a man walked into Biggby Coffee, located at 2550 W. Stadium Blvd., with a knife and demanded cash. He was given an undisclosed amount and walked out.
In those two robberies, the man was described as black, 6-feet tall, between 160 and 180 pounds, wearing a black or gray hooded sweatshirt and black or gray pants. He’s approximately 25 years old.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is encouraged to call Stanford at 734-323-2628 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).
