One thief pointed a gun at the owner and ordered him to back away from the counter. The other went behind the counter and with latex gloves on ransacked the register and lottery machine and then took off.
Police are asking the public for help in identifying the two robbers, and are working with officers in Boston and Revere to see if they’re connected to similar robberies there.
Anyone with information about the robberies are asked to call police.
