The Citizens Bank inside Hannaford supermarket on Milton Road was the first robbery that occurred on September 11.  The suspect appeared unarmed or at least did not brandish a weapon and took off on a bicycle.  The second robbery occurred on September 14 at the Nouria gas station and convivence store on Milton Road. In this incident, the suspect allegedly displayed a knife and left on foot.  The next robbery occurred at the Irving Circle K on Gonic Road.  The suspects were a man and a woman who fled on foot after allegedly threatening the clerk with an unknown weapon.  Two suspects have been charged with this offense.

On Sunday, September 20^th the Nouria gas station and convivence store were hit a second time.  The robbery was very similar to the first robbery at the Nouria gas station where the suspect brandished a knife, demanded cash, and took off into the woods.  Then, on Monday, September 21 the Citizens Bank inside Hannaford’s was hit a second time with similar circumstances to the first robbery there.  The suspect passed a note to the teller and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and took off on a bicycle.  Rochester Police have released some surveillance images and are asking for help in identifying the suspects.
