Police have said the two men likely also robbed a girl in Wilson the same night, and may be connected to a hold-up in Forks Township last week.

In both the Easton and Wilson cases, the suspects matched the same description: The gunman was a shorter, heavy-set black male in a red sweatshirt, while his partner was a taller, thinner black male in a blue sweatshirt or jacket.
