NORFOLK – Police are searching for a man they say robbed three local gas stations in recent weeks.

During the robberies, police say the man entered each gas station armed with a gun and demanded money from cashiers. Each cashier complied before the man fled the store.

Police described him as a black man about 6 feet tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds. Police believe he is in his late 20s to early 30s. The man was wearing the same Chicago Bulls hat during each robbery.

The first robbery occurred on Sunday, Sept. 24, at 4:45 p.m. at the Fast Trek Citgo, located at 2335 Azalea Garden Road. The following Sunday on Oct. 1, the man robbed a Sunoco gas station, located at 4528 E. Princess Anne Road around 8:40 p.m.

The last robbery occurred on Thursday at 3:05 p.m., when the man entered a Shell gas station located at 3502 E. Princess Anne Road.
