LYNN, Mass. (WHDH) — A convenience store clerk is off the job in Lynn after he was robbed three times in the past few weeks.

Police said each time the Highland Variety store robbed, a masked suspect showed a knife and demanded money from the 49-year-old cashier. The store’s owner believes the robber may have found it easy to take money from the particular clerk, which is why he kept coming back.

“Maybe this guy comes back again because he’s used to him being there and he can easily take the money,” said store owner Mohammad Ali.

Police believe the three robberies are connected and called it rare for a robber to keep coming back.

The owner said it was not an easy decision but he has transferred the cashier to another store. No arrests have been made in the robberies.
