CHERRY HILL - Cherry Hill Police arrested a man they say robbed two women at knifepoint outside banks Tuesday afternoon.

Brandon Williams, 36, of Cooper Landing Road, was arrested around 9:45 a.m Thursday and is charged with weapons and robbery offenses. 

Police said the crimes happened within 40 minutes of each other, with the suspect "loitering on foot in the area of the banks prior to confronting the victims."

The first robbery happened about 1:38 p.m. as a woman left a Bank of America branch on Route 70.

The suspect was wearing a black T-shirt and baseball hat. He brandished a knife, stole cash from the woman and fled in a four-door car believed to be the Kia Optima.

At 2:20 p.m., the suspect approached a woman outside the TD Bank branch on North Kings Highway.

This time, the man wore a bright green shirt with reflective stripes and no hat. Again the man brandished a knife, stole cash and left in the same car, police said.

Surveillance cameras captured images of the suspect in both cases.
