Armed Robbers Hold Up Lawrenceville Store Workers

PITTSBURGH -- Police have released surveillance photos from a convenience store robbery in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood.
Two men with guns confronted two employees at the Quick Stop on Liberty Avenue at about 9:50 p.m. Thursday and forced one of the workers to lie on the floor, police said.

One of the men grabbed an employee's keys and took cash from him, police said.

The robbers ran away separately, headed east on Ligonier Street and on Liberty Avenue, police said.

Both robbers are described as black and in their late teens or early 20s. One of them had a medium complexion and a thin build, about 5 feet 9 inches and 170 pounds, with a black shirt and blue jeans.

The other is dark-skinned, with a medium build, 5 feet 8 inches and 150 pounds, with a white shirt, blue jeans and a black-and-yellow ball cap.

They may be driving a teal or aqua Chrysler, or a gold vehicle, police said.
