In each case, the robbers were armed when they entered the stores and demanded personal property from everyone, as well as cell phones and cash.

The crooks covered their faces and heads with bandanas, masks or hooded sweatshirts.

They threatened to shoot employees and customers if the victims did not comply with their demands.

The robbers were seen leaving one of the heists in a purple, four-door Saturn.

Witnesses described the two pictured suspects as black males, between 16 and 20 years old, 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing between 140 to 180 pounds.
