Regina police are looking for a man with a hammer who's a suspect in a car-jacking and a store robbery.
The two incidents happened Thursday over a few minutes around 8 p.m.
In the first, someone with a hammer went up to a person just after they parked their car on the 300 block of Broad St. and demanded they get out of it. The suspect then took off in the vehicle. Nobody was hurt.
Then a few minutes later, a business on the 400 block of Broad St. N. was robbed by someone with a hammer.
Police, who didn't name the business, say the suspect and the vehicle matched up in both incidents.
