JOHNSTOWN — Law enforcement officials search for a suspect they believe hit up businesses that are 100 miles and two hours away from each other. The latest one happened January 19 at a drive-thru in Johnstown in Licking County; where he demanded money from the woman working there. Authorities believe the same man is responsible for two similar robberies last June in McComb in Hancock County.  Police suspect it's the same man because of his description, his M.O. and his weapon: a knife. That raised a flag for investigators.

"Knives are no longer used as much.  Its more now people using guns," says Johnstown Police Officer Monica Haines.

The suspect is described as a white male, 5'9" tall with a medium build. He wore an orange mask, black carharts and brown shoes. Call Johnstown police if you recognize him.
