Police say they are on the hunt for a brazen criminal who robbed the same Northside business four times in the past two months.

Thursday, the man walked past his own wanted poster to rob the Family Dollar store, 131 W. 38th St., just before 8 p.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Paul Thompson said.

The same man also robbed the store on Jan. 31 and Feb. 9 and on Monday, police said. In those prior robberies, police say, the man pulled a handgun.

The clerk recognized the man from those robberies, Thompson said. Thursday, the man motioned as if he had a weapon, took cash and ran out.

No one was injured, Thompson said.
