Montreal Police had a busy morning....they had three armed robberies to deal with...all happening within 2 hours.

The first took place in jewellery store located at 4035 Beaubien East...as police were able to arrest all three suspects in the store.

The owner suffered minor injuries...as the suspects were attempting to tie him up when they were caught by police.

The second armed robbery happened a few minutes later at a National Bank...found at 5100 Beaubien East.

A man with a dark complexion entered the bank brandishing a weapon.

He made off with an undisclosed amount of money and fled on foot.

The third happened about an hour later...at another National Bank...this time at 1201 Fleury.

Cops say a suspect fitting the same description...walked in with a handgun...made off with some money...and fled on foot.

Police believe the same man may have committed both robberies...
