Police are also investigating whether the men are connected to two armed robberies that occurred at the 130 Food Mart in Delran, New Jersey on January 16 and January 26, as well as a liquor store robbery in Florence, New Jersey on Monday.

Officials with 7-Eleven are offering a $5,000 reward to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the people responsible. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office is also offering a $2,500 reward.

Police say the suspects wore a mask during all the robberies. They have not yet released a detailed description of the suspects.
