The 17-year-old was arrested after a 19-year-old man was threatened with a knife during a robbery in the Morledge at around 3.45am yesterday (Tuesday 27 December).
The teenager was arrested close by, and he remains in police custody.
He's also being held in connection with another knifepoint robbery in Corporation Street, at around 3.30am.
Plus, is being questioned in relation to two further knifepoint robberies – one that happened just off Mansfield Road at 2.50am on Christmas Day and a second that happened at 2.30am on Christmas Eve in Chester Green Road.
Nobody was physically hurt during any of the robberies.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may be able to help with their enquiries – in particular anyone who may have been approached in a similar manner over recent days.
