In the ice cream robberies, the suspect also wore a black cap, bought a soda and then showed the gun in his waistband to the clerk and demanded cash, officials said. He also may be linked to a Baskin-Robbins robbery in Palmdale earlier this month, sheriff's officials said.

Late Tuesday, Sheriff officials released a videotape from the Moorpark ice cream store holdup, which captured the suspect's image on camera, hoping to jog someone's memory of the man. ``We're just trying to see if somebody can put the name to the face,'' said sheriff's Detective Ernie Montagna. The suspect allegedly started his ice cream store robbery spree in mid-October, when he is believed to have hit the Baskin-Robbins on Main Street in Ventura on Oct. 12. Two days later, a man matching the same description robbed another Baskin-Robbins in Ventura. On Oct. 15, the Baskin-Robbins in Moorpark was robbed, and on Oct. 19 the Palmdale Baskin-Robbins was hit, said Montagna. As for the Little Caesar's Pizza robbery Tuesday night in Ventura, Montagna said the robber's description and style sounded similar.
