A man is in custody and is facing several charges following two separate investigations into incidents at hotels in Thunder Bay.
Officers were sent to a business on the Harbour Expressway around 10:15 p.m. on Monday after receiving reports of a robbery.
The man had entered the business brandishing a weapon and threatened a staff member demanding money before running with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The next evening, officers responded to a business on Cumberland Street North just before midnight.
A man had entered the business and threatened a staff member with a weapon before running.
City police’s Break and Enter and Robbery unit became involved in the ongoing investigation and determined the same individual was responsible for both incidents.

As a result, a 41-year-old is facing several charges:
- Robbery with violence x2
- Failure to comply with a release order x6
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
- Carrying concealed weapon
- Resisting peace officer
The accused remains in custody with a future court date.
