Police are looking for a suspect in two robberies in Brooklyn. The suspect uses two guns to intimidate his victims.

In the first incident, which occurred just after midnight on January 16th, the suspect entered the kitchen area of the Sip & Chat Restaurant at 2910 Avenue D. With a weapon in each hand, the suspect ordered the workers into the back room but ultimately left the restaurant empty-handed. Here's video:

Then, on January 17th, around 3:20 p.m., the suspect headed to Carrasco's Grocery Store at 1292 Flatbush Avenue. Armed again with two guns, the suspect demanded money from the store owner, who handed over $600.

No one was hurt in either incident. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
