In a little under 12 hours, the mini-mart at the Exxon gas station on the corner of Bristol-Oxford Valley and New Falls roads in Bristol Township was robbed at gunpoint.
The first robbery happened at 7:55 p.m. Sunday evening when a man walked in, displayed a handgun and demanded money. The suspect made off with an undetermined amount of cash, police said.

The suspect in that robbery is was described by police as roughly 6-foot-tall and was wearing a green sweatshirt and jacket. His face was covered.
At 6:51 a.m. Monday morning, two men armed came into store moments after a customer left and robbed the clerk of $60.
