Police in Pawtucket nab a teen wanted in two different robberies.

Police say 19-year-old Tyree Tilson walked into the Fairlawn Wine and Spirits on Smithfield Avenue Wednesday night and showed the clerk a knife, demanding cash.

Tilson fled the scene before the clerk called police and they were able to track him down a short time later.

Police also say Tilson was responsible for an armed robbery at the Pawtucket Food Mart a day earlier.
