Police are investing a series of armed robberies at Dunkin Donuts in the state and the company is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. 

According to ABC News, police officers from multiple communities gathered in Norwood on Wednesday to discuss ways to solve the case of a string of Dunkin Donuts robberies. The story states that since March of 2012 there have been 20 robberies of the coffee and donut franchise in 15 communities.

"We are working closely with our franchisees and the local law enforcement in regards to the situation," the statement reads. "Dunkin' Brands is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect, and we encourage anyone with information to contact the local authorities." 

One of the robberies was in Burlington. According to Burlington Police the Dunkin Donuts on Winn Street was robbed Monday night. The robbery occurred at 8:05 p.m. and about a half an hour later there was a robbery of a Bedford Dunkin Donuts by a man matching the same description.
