Police hunt knife-wielding man fleeing Hamilton robberies on e-scooter

A man believed to have robbed three Dinsdale food outlets fleeing the scene on an e-scooter.

Police have appealed to the public for information on a man believed to have committed a series of aggravated robberies before fleeing on an e-scooter each time.

Three food outlets at the Dinsdale Shopping Centre had been targeted in the last few days, police said.

Detective Sergeant Matt Lee said the man arrived on a black e-scooter and entered the store demanding money while brandishing a knife.

"On September 24, he robbed one shop, on September 25, he robbed two shops before fleeing the scenes on the e-scooter."

A victim was assaulted by the man during the second robbery.

The man allegedly committed aggravated robberies at three Dinsdale food outlets this week.

Lee said police believed the man had committed all three robberies and was actively seeking information to assist the investigation.

"The community can expect to see an increase in safety patrols in the area over the coming days."

Anyone with relevant information should contact 105.
