The Apex Police Department is asking the public for information about two armed robberies that occurred last week in town.
Investigators believe the robberies are connected.
Two men robbed the Racing Mart at 321 S. Salem St. Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 10:12 p.m.
The men entered the store with hoods pulled up over their heads and took cash from the store register.
One suspect was armed with a handgun.
The second incident took place Friday, Jan. 29 at 12:47 a.m. at the Kangaroo gas station at 705 E. Williams St.
Only one suspect entered the store during this robbery. Armed with a chrome or silver semi-automatic handgun, he struck one clerk in the face with his fist and ordered another clerk to remove the money from the register.
Fortunately, the clerk suffered only minor injuries.
Apex police released a video of the Racing Mart robbery, which can be viewed at www theapexherald .com.
“We are offering a reward for information about these robberies,” said Capt. Ann Stephens. “We are also asking that if anyone sees anything suspicious or they recognize the suspects in the video then they should call us.”
Police stress that both men are believed to be armed and dangerous.
The one suspect who is believed to have been involved in both incidents is described as a black male in his mid to late 20s, standing 5-foot-10 to six-feet tall and with a thin build. He has angular facial features with a long nose and close cut beard.
During both robberies he wore a black zipper cotton hoodie jacket, black jeans and black sneakers with white laces.
The second suspect involved with the Racing Mart robbery is described as a black male in his early to mid-20s with a medium dark complexion. He stands about 5-foot-10 to six-feet tall and has a slight build.
He wore a dark ski mask covering the lower portion of his face and a gray, black and blue urban camouflage design pullover jacket with large white hoodie drawstrings. The jacket has a pink skeleton hand print on the left side and a white and pink dolphin print on the back with multi-colored lettering above the dolphin print.
He also wore dark baggie jeans with oversized back pockets that have multi-colored vertical lines in them.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call the Apex Police Department at 362-8661.
