Prosecutors said that, between May 11 and May 19, 2021, Kadir displayed what appeared to be a pistol and took money from clerks at hotels in Lancaster, Amherst and the Town of Tonawanda, as well as a wine shop on Buffalo’s West Side. When a security guard used her car to block his escape from a hotel robbery on Millersport Highway in Amherst, prosecutors said Kadir took a pistol from her at gunpoint before he fled.
