Hole in Dunkin' Donuts security, over 20 recent robberies near Boston, report says

Over 20 stores in the chain have been robbed in the Boston area since mid-March, according to CBS Boston.

Two more Dunkin' Donuts were robbed Monday night in the northern suburbs, one in Burlington and then in Bedford, but police aren't saying yet if the incidents are connected to a long string of thefts.

In the first robbery around 8 p.m., police say a man in a black hooded jacket, a ski mask, blue jeans, black sneakers and goggles showed a gun, grabbed money from the register and ran off.

Then, CBS Boston reports, about twenty minutes later police say a man fitting a similar description climbed through the drive-thru window of a Dunkin' Donuts in Bedford and demanded money from two employees.

This makes more than 20 Dunkin' stores robbed since March in 14 different towns in the Boston area.

Every time, the store has been robbed between 8 and 11:30 p.m., the suspect has a gun or a knife, demands money, takes it and runs away, according to CBS Boston.

Investigators aren't saying yet whether Monday's doughnut shop robberies are related to the other incidents.

"We can't definitively tell you that they're all connected, but since it's been a common store that's being robbed, then we will look at all of that," Burlington Police Capt. Thomas Duffy told reporters Tuesday.

There was also an armed robbery Monday night at a gas station in nearby Waltham and the same description of a suspect was given as in the two Dunkin Donuts' heists.
