Waterloo regional police are investigating two convenience store robberies they say happened less than an hour apart in Cambridge.
Officers were called to the first incident around 7:20 pm Friday in the area of Cedar Street and Berkley Road.
Officials say a man came into the store, demanded money while showing a knife, and fled with an unknown amount of cash.
Around 8:10 pm, officers were called to another incident in the area of Cambridge Street and Bond Street.
It was reported again that a man entered the store and demanded money while showing a knife, but this time he was chased out of the store by an employee before police were called.
