Suspect on motorcycle allegedly robbed 12 GTA gas stations, fast food outlets

Police from several jurisdictions are working to identify and apprehend a biker who allegedly committed more than a dozen armed robberies in the GTA in recent weeks.

The incidents occurred between July 13 and August 5 and typically targeted gas stations and fast food restaurants.

Investigators said the suspect typically walks into a business, brandishes a gun and demands money before fleeing the scene on a white motorcycle.

The robberies took place between 2am and 6am throughout the week.

The suspect is described as a five-foot-seven to five-foot-nine man with a thin build.

Although the clothing he was seen wearing was different, police said he was wearing a black motorcycle helmet with green accents, black gloves with white or green accents, and sunglasses.

The motorcycle the suspect is using is a white 2012 to 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 300 with green lettering and an aftermarket exhaust.

The Peel Police Central Robbery Bureau is working with the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police and York Regional Police on this case.
