The first of the robberies occurred at an industrial unit in the Pharmacy and McNicoll avenues area in the early morning hours of April 1.
Police say that the suspect gained access to the unit by removing the glass from the door at the front entrance. He was then able to access two other units by breaking through the drywall and prying open a door.

The next robbery took place at an industrial unit in the area of Finch Avenue and Markham Road in the early hours of April 13.
Police say that the suspect “carefully removed” the glass from the front door and headed inside.
He then broke into four additional units on the same property, police say.
He ended up taking a quantity of jewelry and a quantity of cash from the units before fleeing.
The third and most recent robbery happened on Thursday at a business in the area of Tapscott Road and McNicoll Avenue.
Police say that the suspect again gained access by removing glass from the front door of then business. He then allegedly ransacked several officers before finding a safe that he broke into.
