CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Police are hoping surveillance photos can help catch an armed robber wanted for two incidents at convenience stores early Wednesday morning.

Chesterfield police released photos Friday from the Circle K at 2117 Willis Road showing a suspect walking into the store around 6 a.m. The man pulled out a handgun and demanded cash from the clerk.

The suspect, who ran off with an undisclosed amount of cash, headed near the Waffle House before turning right on Burge Avenue and getting into a waiting vehicle.
