A Cherry Hill man has been arrested after allegedly demanding money from a woman outside a bank in Collingswood, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

CAMDEN - A Cherry Hill man, already accused of robbing the same store twice, was arrested Friday in connection with a holdup outside a Collingswood bank.

Paul Lee, 39, robbed a 34-year-old woman at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Bank of America branch at 846 Haddon Ave. on Feb. 27, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said.

Lee allegedly fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. The unidentified victim was not injured.

Cherry Hill police informed Collingswood detectives that a man matching the suspect’s description may have committed similar robberies in their township, the prosecutor's office said.

Cherry Hill police earlier this month charged Lee with two holdups, on Jan. 27 and Jan. 28, at Bath and Body Works in the Ellisburg Circle Shopping Center. He allegedly wielded an imitation gun during those incidents, police said.

Lee, a resident of the 100 block of the Cherry Parke condo complex, was charged with robbery in connection with the Collingswood  incident. He was being held in Camden County Jail.
