Police Searching For Suspect In Hotel Robberies In Oakland County [PHOTOS]

FARMINGTON (WWJ) - Police are investigating suspected armed robberies at two Holiday Inn Express locations in Farmington Hills.

Authorities say that on Tuesday, Oct. 17, just before midnight, a suspect described as a black male approximately 6'0", with a thin build, and wearing a red zippered hoodie, black pants, and armed with a semi–automatic pistol, entered the Holiday Inn Express on Northwestern Highway and demanded money.

Once he was handed the money -- he fled.

It's believed the suspect drove away in a 2008 – 2012 white Chevrolet Malibu that was missing hub caps.

Then two days later, on Thursday, Oct. 19, about 12:45 a.m, a man entered the Holiday Inn Express on Haggerty,  demanding money -- same physical description but wearing a black ski mask, Ray Ban glasses, black hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans, and brown shoes.

He was handed the money and took off.

Police say they've added patrols to the area.
