Cops nab Trenton man who robbed same store
TRENTON >> Suspected serial robber Maurice Davis allegedly targeted the same store twice in about a week, police said.
The 23-year-old Trenton man faces multiple charges stemming from three armed heists between March 21 and March 29, police said.
Cops tied him to a March 21 robbery that happened before 6 p.m. at a store on the 1200 block of South Clinton Avenue.
The alleged culprit, wearing a mask and brandishing a handgun, stole hundreds in cash, police said.
Davis was fingered in two other holdups the morning of March 29, about a half-hour a part, on the 1000 block of South Broad Street and at the same business that he hit March 21, police said.
“I’m back, give me the money,” Davis allegedly said, in returning to the same joint he robbed, before running off.
Cops Jeffry Donaire and Angel Turner spotted a man fitting the description of the alleged robber.
Davis allegedly pulled a piece on the officers when they tried to stop him, but they officers convinced the suspect to drop the weapon without a firefight.
