Then, at around 4:20 a.m. on Monday the 20th, officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Jumpstart on E. 47th Street South. The case is very similar, but the man also got away with cigarettes.

And, at around 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, a similar case was reported at the Domino’s Pizza at 47th and Broadway.

No one was hurt in any of the cases.

Police say York has a history of charges, including robbery, attempted robbery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and criminal threat.
