Police investigate string of robberies since Saturday in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Police are investigating after six businesses were robbed in town since Saturday.

The string of robberies started with two Saturday night.

Police were called to the Boost Mobile on E Pikes Peak around 7:00, after a man with a gun demanded money from employees.

Less than an hour later, the Cavendar's western outfitter on S Carefree was robbed in the same way.

A few hours after that, around 1:00 Sunday morning, the Wendy's on W Colorado was robbed by someone with a taser. Nearby business owners told us they're not surprised to hear about crime in the area.

"I get a little frightened if we're here late working into the night," said Lexi Pysniak with Pomodoro's Deli. "You hear a lot of things and because it gets so dark out you can’t really see what’s going on."

The next morning there was another robbery. Around 2:30 a.m. Monday, witnesses say a woman, and a man with a gun, took cash and merchandise from the Kum and Go on N Carefree.

Police told KRDO it's too early in the investigation to know, but they're actively considering whether any of these robberies are connected.

Meanwhile, two 7-Elevens were robbed Tuesday morning.

The first one, by two men with guns on Briargate Boulevard just before 2:00.

An hour and a half later -- investigators say a hispanic or black man robbed the 7-Eleven on W Colorado with a gun. Officers couldn't find the suspect, but believe a stolen car found a short distance away was used in this crime.

Anyone with information on any of these robberies is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department.
