Pittsburgh police looking for 'violent serial robber'

Pittsburgh police said they are searching for a man who they believe “violently” robbed at least five businesses in several city neighborhoods on Tuesday and Wednesday.

In each of the robberies, police said the man “enters the establishment, violently thrusts a gun at the clerk, grabs an undisclosed amount of cash, and runs away.”

The man is wanted in connection with robberies at the Dollar General in the 4700 block of Centre Avenue in Bloomfield; the Fuel-On convenience store in the 5700 block of Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside; Fine Wine & Spirits in the 5900 block of Centre Avenue in Shadyside; Primanti Brothers on 18th Street in the Strip District; and Warrington Beer in the 800 block of East Warrington Avenue in Allentown.

The man was wearing a mask during each robbery and is about 6 feet tall, according to police. He is considered to be armed and dangerous. 

Police ask anyone with information about the robberies to call them at 412-323-7800.
