A Lancaster County man arrested for the armed robbery of a Mountville convenience store last week has been charged with a second holdup.

Richard Eugene Eisenberger Jr., 31, of Columbia, is now charged in the robbery of the Getty Mart on Highland Drive, according to West Hempfield Township police.

Police believe he is the man who had a large knife when he demanded cash and cigarettes the night of October 10, the night before he allegedly pretended to have a gun in his pocket when he ran off with money and smokes from a Turkey Hill store in Mountville.

He was taken into custody just minutes after the crime when a responding officer found him just two blocks from the store, police said.
