Suspect charged in connection with six robberies

Windsor police have arrested a man in connection with a string of convenience store robberies dating back to last September.

Officers were called Saturday to a store on Lauzon Road near Tecumseh Road East around 4 am.

They were told a male suspect entered the store with his identity concealed with a black mask and approached the employee.  

He brandished a knife and demanded cash, which was then placed into a yellow plastic bag with black lettering.  

He left the store with a quantity of money.

Police were able to identify the man and link him to a series of six other robberies in the area bounded by Jefferson, Lauzon Road and Tecumseh Road east.

Cody Farrugia, 20,  is charged with six counts of robbery and six more of wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence.
