CINNAMINSON — A suspect wanted in the armed robbery of a convenience store in Edgewater Park early yesterday morning apparently struck again at a sandwich shop on Route 130 last night.Cinnaminson police said they were sent to a Subway sandwich shop at the Pep Boys Plaza at 6:30 p.m. for a report of an armed robbery.

Police said the suspect entered the store, announced a robbery, took about $500 and fled the building. He indicated to the cashier that he had a weapon but did not reveal one during the robbery, police said.

He was last seen driving a Ford Explorer toward Route 130.

Police described the suspect as a black man in his mid-30s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 170 pounds, with a thin build, goatee with long sideburns, and wearing a white baseball cap with a maroon zip-up long-sleeve jacket and work boots.

Earlier yesterday morning, Edgewater Park police said the man robbed the 7-Eleven at knife-point.

The robbery occurred at 12:06 a.m. at the 7-Eleven on Cooper Street, said police Chief Robert Brian. He said a man entered the store, browsed for a short time and then grabbed the clerk and threatened him with a knife.

The teller turned over approximately $100 cash and the robber left the store, driving away in a black Ford Explorer, Brian said.

The teller wasn't seriously injured, the chief said.

The investigation is ongoing, but Brian said it's too early to tell if the robbery was connected to other recent holdups in the county.

A black Ford Explorer also was used as a getaway vehicle Monday morning during a robbery at a drycleaner in Cinnaminson. During that robbery, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet threatened an employee with a pipe, police said.

A man wearing a motorcycle helmet also robbed a gas station in Burlington Township Monday morning. That robber escaped in what was described as a dark green SUV with dealer plates.
