RCMP have a suspect in custody after three incidents that took place in less than an hour over the weekend.
The first happened at a gas station in Stewiacke.
Mounties say a small black car rammed into the front doors at 1:49 a.m. on Sunday. A man then went inside and took the cash register.
At 2:24 a.m., a small black car crashed into the front of a business on Hwy. 214 in Elmsdale, causing significant damage. The driver took off.
Then at 2:43 a.m., RCMP were called to a gas station on Hwy. 2 in Fall River.
Police say a man pumped gas, went inside, then told the employee no one would get hurt before taking the cash register. The suspect was seen leaving in a small black car.
Officers soon pulled over a vehicle matching the description along Waverley Rd. and arrested the driver.
