Gas stations on north Main Avenue beware: An armed man has robbed two stations within a week, and his behavior appears to be growing more aggressive, according to the Durango Police Department.<\/p>\n

Police were called about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday to the Speedway gas station at 1991 Main Ave., where a man is suspected of holding a gun to the store clerk\u2019s head and demanding money, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspect took off with cash before authorities arrived. A K-9 unit was used to track the man, but the dog lost the man\u2019s scent, said Durango police Cmdr. Rita Warfield.<\/p>\n

Authorities believe the suspect is the same man who robbed another gas station Nov. 12.<\/p>\n

In that case, the suspect is thought to have entered the Circle K<\/a> gas station at 1801 Main Ave. around 9:30 p.m. Nov. 12. He displayed a firearm, but did not point the weapon at the clerk, according to police. The clerk gave the man money from the cash register, and he took off on foot, police say.<\/p>\n

Police believe the suspect entered the same Circle K around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and was about to rob the gas station again, but customers entered the store and the suspect abandoned his plan and left the service station.<\/p>\n

The suspect is described as being white, about 5 foot 8 inches, with a thin-to-medium build. He was wearing a black hoodie, light-colored jeans, a dark-blue face mask and a gray baseball hat with a dark blue\/black brim.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call detective Josh Newman at 375-4733.<\/p>\n

Warfield also asked anyone in the area with home security surveillance to review footage for any clues.<\/p>\n
