Police are investigating whether three recent grocery store robberies in Bucks County and Montgomery County are connected to a serial robber who is still on the loose.
Upper Dublin Police say a robber targeted a Citizens Bank inside the ACME in New Britain Township, Bucks County Friday night between 6 and 7:30 p.m. Police say a robber also stole from the PNC Bank inside the Giant supermarket in Souderton, Bucks County last Thursday as well as the Bank of America inside the Weiss Market in East Norriton, Montgomery County back on November 1.
An Upper Dublin Police officer told NBC10 the three robberies could be connected to a serial robber who struck several businesses in Montgomery County.
Police say the same man robbed a Salad Works in Horsham Township, a Jimmy Johns in Upper Dublin and a Giant Supermarket in Lower Gwynedd Township last October.
Police say while the suspect never pointed the gun at any of the victims, he still made them aware that he was armed during each incident. During the Giant Supermarket robbery, the suspect handed a teller a note saying he had a gun and wanted cash. During the Salad Works robbery, police say he showed the two employees inside that he had a gun by his waistband.
“He displays the handgun to the clerk and demands the cash,” said Upper Dublin Police Detective Michael Commer.
Police also say the suspect has worn the same clothes during each robbery; a black jacket with the words “Sports Illustrated” on it and a red baseball cap. They also say the suspect drives a Silver Honda Accord, which was captured on surveillance video in the parking lot of the Giant Supermarket.
