Police released surveillance video of a man suspected of robberies or attempted robberies at three businesses in Queens last month.

Investigators say the man tried to break into a Rite Aid on Broadway in Astoria on Christmas Eve by cutting a hole in the roof and then robbed a nearby deli about two hours later.

Authorities believe the same man held up a convenience store the following week.

The suspect is described as being between 5-feet-7-inches and 5-feet-11-inches tall and was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt with a "G-Unit" logo on the front, orange Nike sneakers and dark jeans.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
