He attempted to rob the Taco Bell on Redwood Drive just after midnight and robbed the Shell gas station on East Cotati Avenue at about 6 a.m.

The man also is suspected of trying to rob a donut shop on Golf Course Drive at 4:40 a.m. Feb. 20.

Witnesses described him as a male in his 30s or older with a beard. His minivan may be a Dodge Caravan.
