DARTMOUTH, Mass. (WLNE) — A Dartmouth resident is facing multiple charges after police say he robbed two convenience stores in New Bedford.

33-year-old Nicholas Ouimet is charged with unarmed robbery, assault and battery and others in the alleged Monday morning incidents.

Surveillance footage from the CVS location allegedly shows Ouimet going behind the store’s counter and stealing car keys and other items, driving away a stolen vehicle.

Ouimet was found to have allegedly robbed a Walgreens store hours earlier, according to police.
