Edinburg police are currently searching for two suspects accused of participating in two aggravated robberies Saturday.
According to the news release, the two men entered a restaurant at around 6:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of West Monte Cristo Road where they proceeded to take an “undisclosed amount of cash from the register” after one of the men displayed a black handgun.
Shortly after they fled the scene, the same men were caught on surveillance video around 7 a.m. entering a grocery store in the 1900 block of North Sugar Road. Both men fled the scene with money from the register and the same man displayed the black handgun, stated the news release.
