A Los Angeles man is behind bars on the South Coast, accused of a string of restaurant armed robberies in Ventura County.

Ventura County Sheriff’s detectives say over a year long period, Andre Love robbed three restaurants in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village at gunpoint. Detectives say they identified Love as the robber through a lengthy investigation.

They arrested the 37 year old man as he was at work in Newhall. Investigators say they are now checking to see if Love might be responsible for other armed restaurant robberies in other areas.
