Scott Anthony Kenny is also from Coventry and was thought to be in the New Milton area within the last couple of weeks.
Despite exhaustive inquiries and an appeal to find him, detectives are yet to trace him and are continuing their appeal to the public to help them locate him.
He is described as: white, 5ft 9ins tall of medium build. He has short mousey brown hair, blue eyes and speaks with a Midlands accent.
The robbery in Gosport happened on December 18, 2007 at the Co-op in Gregson Avenue.
The other robberies happened over an eight month period from March last year, in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Salisbury.
Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact Hampshire police immediately on 0845 045 45 45.
