    COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police believe a man who robbed a south side Waffle House at gunpoint early Monday morning is the same man responsible for a dozen similar crimes.

    Witnesses said the man walked in the restaurant, located at 3960 South High St., at about 5 a.m. with a shotgun in his hand.

    "He just walked right up here and (said) 'I want all your money and your cash,'" according to a witness who asked not to be identified.

    No one was injured during the holdup.

    Investigators said the man is behind a total of 13 robberies at businesses in German Village, Bexley and south Columbus, 10TV News reported.

    Gas stations, restaurants and coffee shops have all been targeted.

    Last month, a surveillance camera inside a Starbucks on South Third Street captured images of the man as he robbed the business. He carried a shotgun and wore what appeared to be a black wig.

    No surveillance video was taken during Monday's robbery, police said.
