GREENSBORO - Police are investigating two robberies at hotels in Greensboro on Sunday night.
About 8:42 p.m., a man walked into the Comfort Suites at 7619 Thorndike Road and implied he had a weapon. He demanded cash and fled after getting an undisclosed amount from the clerk, police stated.
About 13 minutes later, a man walked into the Best Western at 7800 National Service Road and implied that he had a weapon. He motioned the clerk toward the counter area, but she screamed for help and the suspect fled without getting any money.
