Campbell robbed each of the stores at gunpoint and, in two cases, struck the clerk before he fled, said Vineland detectives.

A week ago, police charged Campbell with a September robbery of the Dollar Plus Store in the 900 block of East Chestnut Avenue and the Oct. 16 holdup of the Hampton Inn and Suites on West Landis Avenue.

Campbell was being held in Cumberland County Jail on $500,000 cash bail. The additional charges tack on $1.4 million to his bail.
