PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA — Robbers stole cash and merchandise from a pair of 7-Elevens in Manassas and Woodbridge on Friday and Saturday, police said. Authorities did not say if the robberies were related, but they are still looking for suspects.

The first robbery occurred in Manassas on Friday afternoon. At 3:25 p.m., officers responded to the convenience store located at 10470 Sudley Manor Drive.

Authorities determined that an unknown man walked into the store and began concealing merchandise. The man began to place the items on the counter after an employee confronted him, police said.

A struggle broke out between the two after the man tried to take items off the counter, according to the police report. During the struggle, the man pushed a display rack onto the employee. He then gathered his items and walked out the store with another person.

The employee reported minor injuries in the robbery.

Police described the suspect as a Hispanic man in his early 20s. He had black medium-length hair and a scraggly beard. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a black t-shirt, a multi-colored lanyard around his neck, Nike shorts over black leggings, low-tip Nike sneakers, and carrying a black backpack.

The second robbery occurred just before 2 a.m. on Saturday morning. At that time, officers responded to the 7-Eleven at 5041 Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge.

An employee told police that an unknown man with a gun entered the store and walked behind the counter. The suspect used the gun to strike the employee multiple times, police said.

The man then took money out of the register before leaving the area in a black sedan. The employee received treatment at a local hospital for minor injuries, authorities said.
