TWO gunmen robbed a man of a bank deposit bag outside of a church on Sunday morning, one of three armed robberies that occurred between Sunday and early Monday.

Then shortly before 3pm on Sunday, a man was sitting in his truck parked in front of a business on Prince Charles Drive, when two men armed with handguns approached and robbed him of cash, a gold chain, and a Rolex watch before speeding off in a silver coloured Jeep Cherokee driven by another man.

Then shortly after 2.30am on Monday, a man and a woman were walking north on Blue Hill Road, when two men armed with handguns approached and robbed them of cash and a cell phone before fleeing on foot.
