Two Broome Armed Robberies Investigated

New York State Police are looking for a man who held up the Runway food Mart/ Gulf Gas Station on Martin Hill Road in Colesville at about 2:10 p.m. on October 20.

Authorities say the man, who is described as white with a small build, displayed a handgun and a knife.  The

man was wearing a blue sweat shirt and jeans at the time.  He fled on foot.

Meanwhile, investigators are now releasing more information and surveillance photos following an early morning armed robbery October 20 at the Kwik Fill Red Apple Gas Station on Albany Street in Port Crane at around 1:10 a.m.

The first suspect is a white man, standing five-feet three inches tall with a small build.  He was wearing a light gray jacket, jeans and a red bandana over his face.

The other suspect had their face covered with a pink ski mask and authorities weren’t sure if it was a man or a woman. That suspect also stood five-feet, three-inches tall and had a small build.  The subject was wearing a white and black plaid hooded jacket and jeans at the time.

A handgun and knife were displayed.

New York State Police say the description of at least one of the suspects in the early morning heist and the weapons used ended up being close to the description of another robbery subject in Colesville about 13 hours later.  Authorities, however, say they don’t know if the incidents were related.

Anyone with information about either robbery is asked to call the New York State Police at (607) 775-1241.
