COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers have arrested a man they said is responsible for 13 robberies in the city since April 17.

Officers caught 51-year-old Dwight Davis while he was trying to break-in to a building in the 1400 block of Alvarado Drive in the city Monday night. Davis ran away but was caught and arrested nearby around 10:22 p.m.

Davis was already wanted for a 7-Eleven robbery April 26 and a D&S Liquor robbery May 15.

Detectives listed Davis as a possible suspect in other robberies near Academy Boulevard and Fountain Boulevard, determining that was where he spent most of his time. Officers said it took a while to find him because he had no permanent home.
