Ajak Deng, 18, faces aggravated robbery charges after allegedly brandishing a firearm and demanding cash from a 7-Eleven in Corinth on Nov. 19 and another in Bartonville early Friday morning.

Officials said Deng entered the Bartonville store on FM 407 next to Marty B’s around 2:56 a.m. wearing a face covering, hoodie, black pants, rubber gloves and carrying a bag. The clerk retreated to a back office and was not injured.

Corinth police reported a similar sequence of events during the Nov. 19 robbery.

Investigators from both departments used Flock Safety license plate recognition cameras to identify and track the suspect’s vehicle as it traveled to and from each store.

Additional evidence collected at the Bartonville scene further linked Deng to the crimes, police said. He was later taken into custody in Dallas.
