According to information in the call, two males entered the business and demanded that employees entered the till. The suspects had already left the scene when police arrived. Officers learned one of the suspects was wielding a bladed weapon and both had their faces partially covered.
In the second incident, another police unit was dispatched to a business in the 3200 block of Montague Street at 5:33 a.m. The employee reported that just before 5:30 a.m. two males entered the building armed with bladed weapons, and demanded the register be opened. The suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. The employee was not physically harmed.
