The RCMP has released photos of a suspect accused of robbing businesses in East and West Hants counties over the weekend.

The Mounties said the suspect went into the Circle K in Mount Uniacke at about 4:15 a.m. Sunday and tried to rob the store. Police didn’t say if the suspect was successful, but do say he was gone by the time police responded to the alarm.

According to police, the same man went to the Irving at Windsor’s Garlands Crossing and made off with some money, escaping on an ATV.

The suspect is described as being 5’11” and had been wearing a black Reebok sweater, jeans and tan work boots. Police say the man presented as though he was carrying a weapon, but none was actually seen.

Anyone with information is asked to call Enfield RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
