East Windsor police are investigating two robberies that happened on Monday night.
An armed man robbed East Windsor's Krauszer's Food Store at 44 South Main Street and later a Dunkin' Donuts at 17 North Road was robbed.
East Windsor police tweeted at 6:10 p.m. that Krauszer's at 44 South Main Street store was "just robbed" by a man brandishing a handgun, then about the Dunkin Donuts robbery just after 9:15 p.m.
While police said the initial report of the Dunkin' Donuts robbery had a different suspect description and no gun was shown, police later said there were similarities. The Dunkin' Donuts robber fled in a black SUV, police said.
During the incident at Krauszer's, the robber was wearing a brown hoodie, a black face mask, jeans and gloves, police said.
He walked up the aisle, circled around, pulled a gun and demanded money from the cash register, police said. Then, he ordered the clerk to lie on the floor and left. The man was described as 5-feet-6, with a medium build and likely right-handed.
During the Dunkin' Donuts incident, the robber walked up to the clerk, demanded cash from the register or he'd shoot, police said.
