Brownsville police say there were three aggravated robberies at three different Stripes stores throughout Brownsville early Halloween morning.

Investigators believe the robberies may be linked to each other because the victims gave the same suspect description in all three cases.

Police said two men wearing black bandanas over their faces entered the stores, at least one armed with a handgun, and demanded money.

Detectives told Action 4 News that the robberies happened within an hour time span.

The first robbery was reported on the 9000 block of Anacua Street at 4:02 a.m. Sunday.

The second at the 3000 block of Alton Gloor at 4:38 a.m. and the third at the 1600 block of Price Road at 4:56 a.m. Sunday.
