(Manchester, Conn./WTIC) - Manchester police are investigating a trio of armed robberies from last night and early this morning.

Just after 10:00 last night, a lone suspect believed to have been armed with a firearm entered an Exxon gas station on Adams Street.

A white male clad in a black hoodie that may have had "Central Connecticut State University" on the chest pocket made off with cash.

This morning, just before 3:30, officers say a man believed to be armed with a gun entered a Mobil station on Hartford Road.

That suspect was described as a Hispanic male in a yellow jacket and green hat and took cash before he fled.

Then, just before 5:30 this morning, a robbery was reported at a Buckland Street Xtra Mart.  Investigators say they believe that suspect, armed with a knife, was the same person who robbed the Mobil station two hours earlier.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Manchester Police.
