Police say the man reportedly asked for cigarettes in each case, and when the clerks had their backs turned, the suspect pulled out a black and white checkered bag along with a steak knife.
He then would demand money and more cigarettes while armed with the knife.
He reportedly left each location on foot.
Police believe the suspect may have robbed other stores outside of Phoenix city limits, but it's not clear if he can be connected to more robberies or where those robberies occurred.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male between the ages of 25 and 35. He's between 6-foot and 6-foot-4 with a thin build and brown eyes. He wore a black baseball hat, camouflage facemask, black hooded jack, and black jeans in each case. Authorities add that the man also primarily speaks Spanish.
If you have any information on these robberies, you are asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish Speaking. You can also leave an anonymous tip on the Silent Witness website.
