Police on Thursday asked for the public's help to identify people suspected in two recent armed robberies of Fayetteville convenience stores.

A man and a woman robbed Kangaroo store at 2410 Owen Drive at about 10:45 p.m. Nov. 30, and a Wilco Hess station at 5030 Yadkin Road was robbed about 45 minutes later, police said.

A clerk at the second station suffered minor wounds when one of the robbers shot him.

The robbers were described as a thin black man, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and wearing a striped hooded sweatshirt, and a medium-built woman who is about 5 feet 3 inches tall and was wearing a pink shirt and a jacket with "Love Pink" on the back.

A second man was involved in the Wilco Hess robbery. He was described as black or Hispanic, about 6 feet tall, with a thin build and wearing a black jacket.

Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1856 or Crime Stoppers at 910-483-8477.

JohnnyVoodoo: Totaly agree with you. It is amazing though that you can identify them as, certain segments, them, these people, and they, but your post would have been kept out if you would have used a color or race instead. Reguardless most will find it easy to fiure exactly who you were talking about.

Bad boys are getting more prone to shooting during robbery, guess LEOs need to start shooting first when they come up on them.....oh yeah, I forgot, then their rights are being violated.

What you see on those video stills is both an ideology and culture that certain segments of our population are raised within. Getting/wanting something for nothing, a sense of entitlement, the world owes them something so we'll just take it, etc. This scene is so commonplace now that it's almost standard operating procedure for these people. At some point, you have to ask yourself, will they ever "get it" or realize that drugs, gang violence, robbing, stealing, etc. really gets you anywhere? One word, five syllables....unbelievable.

Ain't that something.
