Masked man sought for five robberies at West Roxbury Dunkin' Donuts

Video from a July 3 robbery at VFW Parkway and Spring Street.

Boston Police report they are looking for a man who has been alternating between a knife and a gun as he holds up Dunkin' Donuts outlets along the Dedham line, most recently last night at the outlet at VFW Parkway and Spring Street.

Police say the bandit also robbed that store on July 3. He's also doubled up on the Dunkin' Donuts on Washington Street near the Hess station, robbing it on Aug. 10 at gunpoint and then on Sept. 3 at knifepoint. His spree started March 18 with a knife at the Dunkin' Donuts at 1630 VFW Parkway, which has since closed.

Last night, police say:

An unknown male described as 5'7", slim build, wearing a blue hoodie, black mask, black sneakers with white bottoms, entered Dunkin Donuts and showed a knife. He ordered the clerk to open a cash register and then removed cash. The suspect then fled through the parking lot and hopped over a fence leading to Bridge Street.

Police note there have been similar holdups in surrounding communities.
