Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with three armed robberies in the Beaverton and Tigard area.

Police said they believe the same gunman held up three video poker lounges, two in Tigard and one in Beaverton, on Sunday night and Monday morning.

According to the victims, the man would ask to purchase cigarettes before pulling out a gun and demanding money from the employees.

“Very quietly he said, ‘You need to give me the money in your till or I’m going to kill you,’” said Debbie Agee, one of the victims.

Police said there were no injuries reported in any of the incidents, but the robber could be dangerous. He is described as white, in his 20s, about 6 feet 1 inches tall and 180 pounds.

Anyone with information is urged to call police.
