The Long Beach Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a robbery suspect wanted in a string of armed robberies to businesses during the past three weeks.
Several businesses in Long Beach and one in Lakewood have been robbed since Oct. 20, according to police spokeswoman Lisa Massacani.
In each of the incidents, one suspect entered the business and demanded cash while showing a handgun. Once he gets the cash, he flees in a vehicle.
