Five staff members were threatened with a firearm and cash and tobacco stolen from the Lantern Light Dairy, about 6.15pm on August 31.
The victims were not physically hurt, but were left shaken.
At 12.30pm on August 21 two women were threatened by a man armed with a steel pole at the Southland Road Superette.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken.
