Dunedin police are keeping an open mind over whether two robberies within an hour yesterday afternoon were linked. In the second an armed man robbed Elgin Food Market in Elgin Rd an hour later and got away cash and cigarettes. Police said today the offender in both robberies was described as a man of medium to solid build. Police were keeping an open mind, but it was "too early'' to say whether the two robberies were linked. A police spokeswoman said today a weapon was used, but did not say what type of weapon it was.
