MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (WOOD) - Authorities have charged a suspect in one of a string of recent armed robberies near Central Michigan University's campus.

Vincent M. Belmarez was arraigned Thursday in Mount Pleasant, and jailed on a $950,000 bond, according to a news release from the Isabella County Sheriff's Department.

It isn't known if he has a lawyer, and authorities couldn't immediately give his age, according to the Associated Press.

Police said he robbed the Subway restaurant, 203 N. Mission St. on Feb. 17.

He may be linked to four other robberies in the area. The thief displayed a handgun in each of the crimes.

Public school officials in Mount Pleasant have tightened security following the robberies, and police at Central Michigan University have issued warnings, according to the Associated Press.
