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.
