Denver police arrested two men suspected in two separate strings of robberies.
On Tuesday, officers arrested Dustin Sharon — dubbed the “Pretty in Pink Bandit” — in the 900 block of Hudson Street, on suspicion of aggravated robbery, according to a news release from the Denver Police Department.
Sharon, who allegedly wore a pink bandana and goggles during the robberies, is suspected in at least seven robberies in Denver from Jan. 12 to Jan. 20. The 25-year-old may be connected to robberies in other jurisdictions, police said.
On Wednesday, officers arrested Wayman Paul Harrington, 24, in the 1500 block of Washington Street. Known by police as the “Pot Belly Bandit,” Harrington is suspected of robbing four small businesses between Jan. 26 and Jan. 30.
He is also suspected of being involved in robberies in other cities.
Robberies are up 18 percent in Denver, the majority of them are committed by pattern offenders.
