Man Charged in Double Holdup Attempt Targeting Rochester Gas Station and Subway Restaurant
ROCHESTER, New York โ A crime spree involving a gas station robbery and an attempted holdup at a nearby Subway restaurant came to an end when Rochester police apprehended a suspect who now faces multiple felony charges.
The chain of events began when the suspect entered a local gas station convenience store, threatened the cashier, and fled with cash from the register. Shortly after, the same individual entered a nearby Subway restaurant and demanded money from the employees. However, the second attempt was thwarted when restaurant staff refused to comply and immediately alerted law enforcement, causing the suspect to flee empty-handed.
Police officers patrolling the area quickly located the suspect matching the descriptions provided by witnesses from both establishments. The man was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery for the gas station incident and attempted robbery for the Subway holdup. He is currently being held at the county jail awaiting his arraignment.
