Around 2:40 p.m., March 10, a man walked into the Citizens Bank at 117 East Main St. and handed the teller a demand note. He then fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect is described as 30 to 35 years old, with a goatee, 5’10” to 5’11” tall, weighing about 200 pounds and wearing a black knit hat, sunglasses and a black jacket. At about 4:20 a.m., March 11, a man entered the Sunoco A-Plus at 287 Elkton Rd., acted as if he were going to make a purchase and then pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money from the register. The employee complied, and he fled the store toward West Park Place, with the cash. The employee was not injured. This suspect is described as 21 to 25 years old, 5’3” to 5’6” tall, weighing 135-155 pounds and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, navy shoes and a black ski mask. He was carrying a maroon backpack.
