Wilson Borough police<\/a> announced Monday armed robberies at two businesses and asked for tips to help solve the crimes. <\/p>\n

Shortly before 1 a.m. Monday, two male perpetrators armed with firearms held up the Penn Jersey gas station at 2134 Northampton St., according to a news release from police. <\/p>\n

One of them forced an employee into the rear of the store after a register was opened, and the duo fled on foot with cash, cigarettes and vapes. <\/p>\n

Both perpetrators wore hooded sweatshirts and masks.<\/p>\n

This robbery followed a daylight incident last Tuesday, Nov. 4, at Papa John\u2019s, 752 S. 25th St. in Wilson, police said.<\/p>\n

In that case, a male intruder brandishing a knife demanded money and fled on foot with cash from the register, according to a news release from Wilson police.<\/p>\n

That robber was described as white and wearing a button-down sweatshirt, jeans and hat, with what appeared to be shoulder-length curly brown hair, the release states.<\/p>\n

Wilson Borough Police Detective Whitney Peterson told lehighvalleylive.com on Monday the robberies are not believed to be related.<\/p>\n

Investigators asked anyone with information on either incident to call police via the Northampton County 911 Center non-emergency line at 610-759-2200 or Peterson at 610-258-8542.<\/p>\n
