Then at 6:22 p.m. on November 22nd, the same suspect returned to the store, again armed with a handgun demanding money.
After taking a money from the cash register the suspect pointed the gun at a customer demanding money. The customer surrendered what money they had, and that's when the suspect fled the area.

In the first incident he was wearing a black jacket with a red hooded sweatshirt underneath, and a black and yellow scarf. During the second robbery he wore a dark colored zip up hooded sweatshirt.
