The first happened at Curry Donuts on Hazle Street.

Police say a man in a red hoodie walked into the place just before 12:30 Thursday afternoon and demanded cash.

He told the clerk he's addicted to heroin and motioned to his pocket like he had a weapon.

He got away with about $150 and a doughnut.

Then about 20 minutes later, police say this man tried to rob the Pantry Quick on Carey Avenue.
