Toledo police continue to investigate weekend robberies at three businesses.

Two robberies were reported Sunday about two hours apart.

A clerk at the BP gas station at 95 Main St., reported being robbed by a man with a switchblade at about 8 p.m., according to a Toledo police report.

The employee, Angel Gonzales, told police that a man ran into the store at about 8 p.m. and told the employee, "Give me everything you got before I [expletive] you up," according to a Toledo police report.

The employee backed up, and the suspect said, "Don't touch anything or I'll [expletive] kill you," according to the police report.

The employee opened a register and gave the suspect about $353 in cash; the suspect then fled the store.

The suspect is described as white, 20-25 years old, between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and 140-150 pounds. He was wearing an orange and black mask. 

Almost two hours later at 9:56 p.m., a West Toledo Little Caesars was robbed, police said.

A man went into the store, at 4302 Lewis Ave., locked the door behind him, and pulled a mask over his face, an employee at the pizzeria told police.

The suspect jumped over the counter and reportedly held a carving knife to the employee's stomach, demanding cash, the report states.

The suspect fled southbound toward Sylvania Avenue after taking cash, police reported.

A witness described the suspect to police as about 5 feet, 8 inches. He was wearing a black mask on his face, black gloves, and black boots. A further suspect description was not provided in the police report.

A robbery was also reported Saturday at Monroe Pharmacy, 4122 Monroe St.

According to a police incident report, a man with a handgun went into the pharmacy at 9:35 a.m. and demanded that an employee give the suspect cash from two registers.

The employee complied and the suspect fled, police said.

No suspect description was available.
