NEW YORK — He runs from Dunkin'.

A ski-mask-clad robber hit a Dunkin' Donuts chain store in Brooklyn Saturday — making off with $125 in the latest hit in a two-month spree, police said.

The man, who police said hit three Subway sandwich locations and the Dunkin' Donuts chain between Nov. 18 and Dec. 26, used the same M.O. for each robbery, police said.

He entered the stores, pulled out a gun and demanded money from the cash register before fleeing on foot. Each incident happened during the morning rush, between 6:00 and 11:00 a.m., police said.

The spree began on Nov. 18, when the robber netted $220 from a Subway on 86th Street in Brooklyn.

He struck again days later, stealing $483 from a Subway on Cross Bay Boulevard in Queens, police said.

Almost a month later, on Dec. 19, the same suspect took $320 from a Subway location on Oriental Boulevard, Brooklyn, police said.

And he hit the Dunkin' Donuts on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn on Saturday, making off with $125, police said.

Police said the suspect is described as 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing between 230 and 250 pounds and was caught on surveillance footage wearing a black ski mask over his face, a brown hooded sweatshirt and a black bubble vest.
