Police on Sunday released surveillance photos of two men who are suspected of separate robberies in the Kansas City area.

Police are asking for help in identifying the men who allegedly committed the robberies late last year and earlier this year.

One man is suspected of stealing from Zedz convenience store at 17 U.S. 69 in Claycomo at 7:10 p.m. Dec. 29, which was caught on surveillance video. The man then allegedly robbed the Little Ceasar’s at 5724 N.E. Antioch Road in Gladstone about 9:30 p.m. and then the Phillips 66 Mini-Mart at 4400 N. Antioch Road in Kansas City, North.

In both of the armed robberies, the man wore a mask but he had the same attire of the person in the Zedz’s video.

The second man allegedly robbed the Value Place Inn at 11301 Colorado Ave. in south Kansas City about 6:30 p.m. Jan. 30. The man was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun.

Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call the Kansas City Police Department’s Robbery Unit at 816-234-5230 or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477 (474-TIPS).
