Officers responded to the first holdup at Mundy’s Liquors at 912 Brunswick Ave. and confirmed that it had been robbed of more than $2,700 at gunpoint around 9:25 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7, Trenton Police said Monday.

The suspect, whom police allegedly identified as Malik J. White, then went down the street to Spojnik at 918 Brunswick Ave., where he held up the store at gunpoint and fled.
