Officers with the St. Joseph Police Department have seized another stolen vehicle they believe was used in a recent string of armed robberies.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said officers seized a vehicle Monday they believe was used in one of the robberies.  As we previously reported, the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office recovered another vehicle believed to have been used in a robbery July 30 on fire at 10500 SE 32nd Rd. Wilson said at this point, at least four of the recent robberies are believed to be tied together.

Friday shortly after 7 p.m. the Road Star gas station at 3215 S. 22nd was robbed when a suspect described as a white man with a skinny build wearing a bandanna displayed a pistol and took off with an undisclosed amount of money in a white two-door vehicle.

July 30, the Hawkins 66 at 6401 Memorial Highway was robbed at gun point.

July 28, the Cenex located at 1029 Garfield was robbed at gunpoint.
