Police Say Oconto Co. and Pulaski Robberies May Be Related

Authorities are trying to figure out if a string of gas station robberies in Oconto County and Pulaski are related. It started in September at the Brookside Shell in Abrams. Then, a robbery at the Pulaski Food & Gas in early October. Last Friday the North Chase Citgo on the corner of County Hwy. S and County Hwy. C was hit.

"We believe this individual is focusing on rural stations - that are not as busy or have slow times," Pulaski Police Cheif Randall Dunford said.

Dunford notices a trend between the three crimes.

"[In all three robberies] the person enters the business, brandishing the weapon, ordering the person to go back to the cooler," Dunford said.

He also points out the suspect(s) were wearing the same outfit. Now Dunford is hoping, through the help of surveillance video, the public can help identify who it is.

Persons with information about any of the incidents, may call one of the following contact numbers: Oconto County Sheriff's Department at (920) 834-6919, Pulaski Police Department at (920) 822-5213, or Green Bay Area Crimestoppers at (920) 432-STOP (7867).
