NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- A crime caught on two different cameras inside New Castle’s Dunkin’ Donuts may be linked to a home invasion not far from the donut shop.

New Castle police said the video shows a man dressed in all black holding a gun.

New Castle Police Chief Tom Sansone said the man surprised a female clerk near the store’s Dumpster and demanded money.

According to police the man, described as being just over 6 feet tall, kept the gun on the female worker until he received the money and ran off.

On the video, police said you can only make out the man’s eyes and his tennis shoes as he walks through the Dunkin’ Donuts.

“We’re taking this seriously,” said Sansone because a handgun was involved.

Police believe the Dunkin’ Donuts bandit may have been involved in a home invasion a few blocks away.

A few hours after the robbery, a man busted through the doors of Ray Conner’s New Castle home and bashed in his head with a brick.

The invader was looking for money, but got none.

Because of the similar circumstances, police believe there is a connection and Sansone said they won’t rule it out yet.
