The RCMP is searching for suspects in connection to two daytime robberies in Surrey and Pitt Meadows yesterday.

A pair of video game stores were held up, and their employees were tied up and threatened with weapons.

The first happened at the EB Games at Meadowtown Centre. Two suspects wearing bandannas threatened the workers with pepper spray, and then tied them up in the back room.

A short time later, an EB Games inSurrey was also targeted.

The employees at that store were reportedly threatened with a machete.

At both stores the thieves made off with cash and video games, and no one was hurt.

With the suspects wearing disguises, police say the descrip16tion of the pair is vague. But it is known one man had dark skin and the other is believed to be Caucasian.
