HAMPTON, Va. – Two men have been arrested in connection to several business robberies that occurred on Monday.

Around 1 p.m. police got a call about a robbery at the First Stop Convenience Store in the 2200 block of Executive Drive in Hampton. The investigation showed that two suspects entered the business, showed firearms, and demanded money. After they got money they fled the scene.

Hampton Police Detectives worked closely with Newport News Police Detectives to determine if the business robberies that occurred in Newport News Monday morning were related to this one.
