By CityNews Halifax Staff

Regional police arrested two people in connection to multiple gas station robberies that took place across the province this week.

On Monday night, Truro police officers responded to a robbery that took place at the Mobile Gas Bar on Elm Street where a man with a bat demanded cash and left in a white SUV with a woman.

A short time later, officers from the East Hants District RCMP responded to a robbery that took place at the Petro Canada in Elmsdale where a man with a hammer demanded cash and fled in a white SUV.

Shortly after, Halifax Regional Police responded to a robbery at the Mobil Gas Station on the Bedford Highway where a man with a hammer entered the store, demanded cash, damaged a display case and fled in a white SUV with money, cigarettes and lottery tickets.

Then in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Halifax Mounties responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on Hwy. 103 that matched the suspect vehicle in all three robberies.

Police said officers found the vehicle, arrested the driver and passenger while also seizing a bat and hammer.

Kyle Jeffrey Rogers, 40, was scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court on Wednesday to face charges of robbery, disguise with intent, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and operation of a conveyance while prohibited.

Sarah Dawn Godfrey, 35, was also scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court on Wednesday to face one count of robbery.
