The majority of the stores were convenience stores and one was a fast-food restaurant, officials said. He also robbed a person.“This is the same person who has committed a string of robberies against stores, all convenience stores so far,” Master Sgt. Gary Knight said. “He goes in with a handgun (and) demands cash. Anyone who comes into the store, he usually puts them on the floor.”One of the robberies was reported Monday at the S.N. Quick Mart at 2600 N. Pennsylvania Ave. A man walked up to the counter, pulled out a gun and told the clerk to give him money from the register, according to a police report.Surveillance footage shows that the robber pointed the gun at a man and a woman. Neither were hurt; the man got onto the floor and the woman ran away, officials said.“At this point, we’re not aware of him hurting anybody yet,” Knight said. “It’s paramount that we get him identified before he can harm somebody.”Other robberies were reported at a Popeyes Chicken on Northwest 23rd Street and convenience stores in the 4700 block of Northwest 23rd Street, the 4800 block of Northwest 23rd Street, the 200 block of Southwest 25th Street, the 3900 block of North Pennsylvania Avenue, the 2000 block of Northwest 10th Street, the 10100 block of Northwest 10th Street and the 6200 block of Northwest 10th Street.The man has been reported wearing hats that said "Dope" and "LA," and he wears black gloves during the robberies, officials said.Police have not gotten a good look of the man's face from surveillance footage, but victims described him as being in his 20s or 30s with a blind or damaged right eye, officials said.“It’s a pattern of behavior. It’s not like this is a one-time event for him. This is something he’s engaging in, at this point, daily,” Knight said.Anyone with information about the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300 or send a tip online.Crime Stoppers serial robber Facebook post
