Police say an Oakville man is facing multiple charges after allegedly robbing 14 banks and two retail businesses this month in several cities across southern Ontario, including Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph.
Toronto police say in each case, a man entered the bank or the retail store alone and showed a knife before demanding cash.
They say the suspect was wearing a mask in several incidents to disguise his identity as he took the cash and fled the area.
Police in Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph, Peel, Halton and Niagara regions investigated the robberies and identified the suspect.
The 52-year-old man was arrested and charged with six counts of robbery with an offensive weapon and six counts of disguise with intent
Police say he was scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Thursday and more charges are expected as the investigation continues.
