Police are asking for your help identifying a man they believe is responsible for an armed robbery, and an attempted armed robbery. 

They have released video of both robberies. The first happened on June 21st at the Walgreens on 17th and South Streets. 

Police said the man followed a 21-year-old out to her car and asked her for money. She said she didn’t have any money, and that’s when he pulled out a handgun and asked her again.

The second robbery occurred on June 24, at the Casey’s General Store at 17th and A street.

He got away with cigarettes and an unknown amount of money.
