Officers responded to Sunoco on Ladson Road in Ladson shortly after 9:30 Saturday night. The clerk told officers a man entered the store and implied he had a gun before getting away with an undetermined amount of money.

Just after 2 a.m. Sunday, officers responded in North Charleston to another robbery at the Spinx gas station on West Montague Avenue. The suspect was reported to be wearing similar clothing to the suspect from the previous robbery.

North Charleston police spokesman Harve Jacobs said no one was injured in either incident.
