Police have caught a man they say is responsible for three robberies in Niagara Falls.

They learned a man wearing a ski mask walked in, threatened an employee with a pocketknife, and was able to escape with some money.
Police caught the suspect a short distance away.
They say he's responsible for a theft on Sunday at the Subway on Victoria Avenue, and December 16th at the Victoria and Maple Variety Store on Victoria Avenue. Each robbery was carried out in the same manner, the thief taking some cash, but fortunately no injuries to anyone.
