FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WNCN) — Fayetteville police said Sunday they had arrested three people after four armed robberies at businesses recently.

Two days later, around the same time, police said a suspect came into a Speedway store on Owen Drive, showed a gun and also left with cash.
Then, Saturday morning, within a matter of minutes, two Circle K stores on Owen Drive were robbed.
