COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers are still searching for a man they believe is responsible for four robberies at knifepoint, and CrimeStoppers is now offering a reward.

According to police, if a person calls CrimeStoppers, and the information leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspect, the caller will get $5,000.

On March 9, the suspect entered the Game Stop in the 3700 block of Bloomington Street, stabbed an employee multiple times and left with an unknown amount of cash.

The next day, police said the same man entered the Walgreens in the 300 block of N. Union Boulevard, threatened the clerk with a knife and left with cash.

On March 12, the man threatened an AT&T employee with a knife at N. Bijou Street and N. Tejon Street and left with an unknown amount of cash.

Two days after the AT&T robbery, the man robbed a Subway, using the same method of threatening employees with a knife. He got an unknown amount of cash from that store as well.

In all the robberies, employees and witnesses described the suspect in a similar manner, leading police to believe it may be the same person. They said he is a white or Hispanic man in his 20s. He is 5'7" to 5'10" and weighs somewhere between 140 and 160 pounds.

Police said he may have been involved in other robberies as well. They are encouraging anyone with information to contact them, although CrimeStoppers is offering the reward, and you must call them to be eligible.
