Police are asking the Hamilton public to help them find a man they believe has committed a series of aggravated robberies using an e-scooter as a getaway vehicle.

Three food outlets in the Dinsdale Shopping Centre had been targeted in the last few days, they said on Friday.

The man arrives on a black e-scooter armed with a knife, demanding money.

“On September 24, he robbed one shop; on September 25, he robbed two shops before fleeing the scenes on the e-scooter,” Detective Sergeant Matt Lee said.

“During the second robbery, a victim was assaulted by the male.”

Police believe the robberies were carried out by the same person.

“The community can expect to see an increase in safety patrols in the area over the coming days,” Lee said.
