The second robbery occurred at 12:15 p.m. in the 3200 block of Western Branch Boulevard. The suspect said to the clerk, “Give me the money.”
In the third robbery, at about 6 p.m., the suspect once again demanded all of the money. He left the business on foot heading towards Churchland Boulevard. Officers searched the area but did not find the suspect, according to the release.
In each of the incidents, the suspect implied he had a handgun, but the clerks did not see a gun, according to the release. Nobody was injured in any of the incidents.
The suspect was described as a light-skinned black male, about 6 feet tall, wearing a black hoodie and blue tinted sunglasses.
