MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Minot police are investigating two armed robbery attempts in about two hours, by a suspect with the same description and weapon.
Authorities say a male wearing a black coat and red scarf entered The Vegas Motel about 12:05 a.m. Tuesday, brandished a knife and demanded money. The employee was able to get safely into an office, and the suspect fled with nothing.
Shortly before 2 a.m., a male with the same garb entered the Racers convenience store, brandished a knife and demanded money. He fled that business with an undisclosed amount of cash.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
