9:32 p.m. UPDATE
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have detained a man believed to be a suspect in three armed robberies in Flagler County in two days.

The suspected robber was apprehended shortly after the robbery of a Mobile station at 6020 E. State Road 100 at 7:11 p.m. No one was injured in any of the incidents. Details of the robberies will be released tomorrow. The suspect is not being identified while detectives continue their investigation.

ORIGINAL STORY:
For the second time in as many days, an armed man has entered a Flagler County business and robbed the clerk.

The clerk at the BP Station at 2245 Old Dixie Highway, in southern Flagler County, told deputies the man entered the store around 12:26 p.m. Sunday, selected a soft drink and placed it on the counter.

He then pulled a 10- to 12-inch knife and demanded money from the register drawer. He fled the store on foot, but may be driving a silver Pontiac Sunfire or Chevy Cavalier. The vehicle was last seen headed eastbound on Old Dixie Highway toward Interstate 95.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying the robber who matches the description of a man who robbed the Shell Station on Celico Way in Palm Coast Saturday afternoon.

The robber is described as being clean shaven, in his late 20s or early 30s, 5-feet, 8-inches to 5-feet, 9-inches tall and weighing 200 pounds with short dark hair.

On Sunday, he was wearing a red T-shirt, dark shorts with white stripes and a dark colored ball cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (386) 313-4911.
