Peel Regional Police are on the hunt for a Mississauga man suspected in a robbery spree dating back to July that included the August holdup of a Brampton store.

Central Robbery Bureau investigators suspect Antoine Bryan, 23, of committing 10 robberies and a jewelry store theft, the majority in Mississauga and many at The Source by Circuit City stores.

Bryan is described as black, 5-foot-9, 190 pounds, with short dark hair. He occasionally sports a goatee.

He is wanted in connection with robberies that started at the Rogers Store July 18 on Argentia Road in Mississauga. The Brampton store, The Source by Circuit City on Quarry Edge Drive, was robbed August 27. A 23-year-old clerk was bound hand and foot with tape while three men— one armed with a machete— stole cell phones, cameras and other electronics. The victim suffered a minor cut in the incident.

Bryan is also suspected of being one of two men who robbed a 25-year-old Brampton man behind a store in the area of Airport Road and Queen Street Sept. 13. Police say the victim met with two men who were going to see him several iPhones, but when he met them behind a store, they took his cash, pulled out a handgun and took off.
