The knife-wielding robber believed to have hit at least 14 businesses across Long Island has apparently struck again, this time at a 7-Eleven, authorities said.
The most recent robbery was early Wednesday at a 7-Eleven on Powells Lane Road in Westbury, police said.
The robber approached the counter, flashed a large knife and fled with an undisclosed amount of money, authorities said.
The same man is believed to have robbed a Dunkin Donuts in Elmont early Tuesday.
The man approached the counter at the store on Linden Boulevard at about midnight, demanded an employee open the cash register and fled with an undetermined amount of money, police said.
Authorities say the suspect is likely the same robber who hit several Dunkin' Donuts, a 7-Eleven, a Subway sandwich stop across Nassau County since March 1.
The first business hit was Show-Abe Chaudhary's Dunkin' Donuts in New Hyde Park. He said he's upped security at the business in the 2 1/2 months since the robbery.

"I'd be happy if they get him tomorrow or today," he said. "I didn't want this to happen to anybody else."
In each of those robberies, the suspect waited until the store was empty, then barged in with a knife and stole money. It's not clear how much cash the robber has amassed.
No one has been hurt in the robberies but police said Wednesday the robber is becoming more brazen.
