Both the Circle K at 201 W. 17th St. and the Circle S at 530 S. College Mall Rd. were robbed Sunday at 3:15 a.m. and 4:19 a.m., respectively, Bloomington Police Department Lt. David Drake said.

The description of the suspect from both robberies is a 6-foot black male with a semi-automatic hand gun, wearing black clothing and a black ski mask, Drake said.

The suspect stole from the cash register at Circle K and took a fistful of cigarette lighters from Circle S after not being able to open the cash register, Drake said.

Video surveillance from both locations is in the process of being
analyzed.
