The Windsor Police Service is looking for one suspect in connection with armed robberies, following three arrests.

Around 5 a.m. on Sunday, police were called to a robbery in the 1900 block of Wyandotte Street West.

A man allegedly approached someone in a parked vehicle, pulled out a knife, and demanded the person get out of the car. The suspect and an accomplice stole the vehicle and the victim’s wallet before driving away, police said.

Stolen credit and debit cards were used at several local businesses, and the vehicle was found in LaSalle.

The next morning just after 4 a.m., officers investigated a robbery near Rankin and University Avenues. A black Dodge Ram reportedly stopped abruptly in front of someone’s vehicle. A man got out of the truck and allegedly sprayed a noxious substance at the victim, who managed to escape and call the police.

Another robbery was reported in the 3400 block of Millen Street, also on Monday. Investigators said a male suspect went up to a victim, demanded their car keys and cell phone, then sprayed the victim with bear spray.

The suspect fled in the victim’s sedan. A black Dodge Ram was reportedly following closely behind the stolen vehicle.

All four suspects were quickly identified. One suspect remains at large.

22-year-old Ivan Albert Labutte was wanted by Windsor police for his alleged involvement, and was arrested on Dec. 12.

The three other suspects arrested include:

• 21-year-old Phoenix Cheeseman, charged with two counts of robbery with an offensive weapon, assault with a weapon, two counts of administering a noxious substance, three counts of wearing a disguise in the commission of an offense, possession of a stolen credit card, and use of a stolen credit card.
• 24-year-old Alaa Khidir, charged with one count of robbery with an offensive weapon.
• 30-year-old Adam William Moroz, charged with one count of robbery with an offensive weapon.
