The first of the two robberies happened at the East Hanover Exxon on the corner of River Road and Rt. 10 around 12:15 a.m., Knapp said. An attendant told police a masked, hooded man pointed a gun at him and demanded money. The attendant handed over cash, and the masked man fled on foot, police said.

Police described the man in that incident as being around 5 feet 10 inches tall, in his early or mid-20s, wearing black pants, a gray hoodie, gloves, and a black mask.

Over an hour later, around 1:30 a.m., a second armed robbery was reported at the South Salem Street 7-Eleven in Randolph. In that case, a man entered the store, pointed a gun at the cashier and demanded money, Knapp said. The man left after the cashier handed over cash. He also fled on foot.

Police described the man involved in the Randolph incident as "a black male, thin build, carrying a black handgun." They said he was wearing "black pants with a white checkered pattern on the legs, a gray hoodie sweatshirt, black gloves, and a ski mask."
