Police are looking for three men who they said stormed into a convenience store early Wednesday morning and made off with several thousands dollars in cash. The holdup happened shortly before 6:00 at the Turkey Hill at North 5th and Spring streets in Reading. Police said two of the three robbers were armed with guns and that one of them pointed a gun at the head of one of the three employees and demanded money. Police said the robbers, who wore bandannas over their faces, got away with several thousand dollars. One of the robbers was described as a Hispanic man, about five feet, four inches tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Police said they believe the same three men robbed another Turkey Hill on Kutztown Road in Reading on November 20. Police told 69 News they are also looking into whether the same men are responsible for a bank robbery in Exeter Township Tuesday afternoon. If you have any information on the robberies, you can call Crime Alert Berks County with your anonymous tip. The toll-free number is 877-373-9913. Copyright 2010 WFMZ. All rights reserved.
