On Jan. 15, 19, and Feb. 3, the Subway store at 281 Shrewsbury was robbed at knifepoint. In each robbery, a tall, masked man came into the store with a large kitchen knife and demanded cash from the register. After an investigation, Worcester Police Department detectives determined it was the same person in all three incidents.

The investigation led police to William Walley, 24. He was arrested on Feb. 16 and charged with three counts of Armed Robbery while Masked.
