Goldsboro police have arrested a suspect in two robberies, and he is in the Wayne County Jail under $170,000 bond.
Christopher Aaron Menane, 25, of Pecan Road in Dudley, is charged with robbing the PNC Bank on Spence Avenue on Monday about midday and the Circle K gas station on Wayne Memorial Drive on Sunday night.
He is charged with both common law robbery in connection with the bank robbery and robbery with a dangerous weapon for the Circle K robbery.
His first appearance in court was scheduled for today.
On Monday, at about 11 a.m., officers were alerted to a robbery at the bank. A man had entered the bank and demanded money. He left the bank with an undisclosed sum. Menane was developed by detectives as a suspect, and a coordinated traffic stop was conducted in the afternoon on Arrington Bridge Road. He was taken into custody without incident.
The Circle K was robbed shortly before midnight by a man wearing a red shirt and khaki pants who may or may not have had a weapon. He convinced the store clerk that he had a weapon in his pocket and the clerk turned over an undetermined amount of money before the thief fled.
