ATLANTA -- The Fulton County Police Department is looking for a man they suspect may be responsible for as many as three robberies of adult video stores.

On August 10, a man entered the Starship store on Old National Highway. After browsing around the store, the man approached the counter where he appeared to be paying for several DVDs. Police say the man raised his shirt to reveal a gun tucked in his waistband and demanded money from the cashier. The man was not able to get any money, but did getaway with several stolen DVDs.

Thirty minutes later, the same man showed up at the Starship store on Fulton Industrial Boulevard and robbed that store in a similar fashion, police said. In that robbery, the man got away with cash and DVDs.

In both robberies the suspect is wearing the same clothes and follows a similar patter, police said. He was seen driving away from the robberies in a tan, older model Ford van.

Police believe the man may also be responsible for a robbery of the Love Shack on Fulton Industrial Boulevard in June.

Nobody was injured during the robberies.
