Haltom City police reported a store robbery on Feb. 8. It was just after 2:30 a.m. when an armed man walked into a 7-Eleven at 5101 Airport Freeway in Haltom City and took money out of the register and some other items from behind the counter.

Bedford police officers responded to a robbery call at about 3:30 a.m. Feb. 8 at the 7-Eleven at 428 Bedford Road.

Officers learned a man walked around the clerk’s counter, displayed a semi-automatic handgun and directed the clerk to open the registers.

After the cashier did so, the robber placed the cash in his backpack and left the scene. No suspect vehicle was identified and the whole robbery occurred in less than two minutes.

At about 4 a.m. Feb. 9, the bandit robbed a 7-Eleven at 1600 W. Southlake Blvd. in Southlake.

In that case, the robber also pistol-whipped the clerk when the employee did not move fast enough, Southlake police said.

An armed man walked into 7-Eleven in the 6300 block of Davis Boulevard in North Richland Hills about 4:30 a.m. Feb. 9, and took an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspect was described as a man wearing a black hooded jacket, black sweats, a navy blue bandana and carrying a Dallas Cowboys drawstring backpack.

After taking the cash, the suspect fled northbound on Davis Boulevard.
