In each of the robberies, a man wearing a white paper mask enters a business and demands cash, according to a Los Angeles Police Department news release.

After taking the money, he flees the location and leaves the area in a vehicle, possibly a silver Nissan Sentra or similar car, the release stated.

Police have released a suspect description, describing the robber as a Hispanic man in his late 20s to early 30s, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing around 200 pounds.

He had on a form-fitting white paper mask similar to one used for cosmetic facials, with eye, mouth and nose holes. The man was wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, gloves and white tennis shoes with blue laces in each incident, according to the release.

Police said a small blue steel revolver resembling a “starter pistol” has been used in the crimes.
