Harrisburg Police are investigating two robberies that occurred Wednesday.
At 935 p.m., Chen’s Mini Market on Herr Street was robbed by two masked men.
The tall robber confronted the woman at the register, while the shorter robber confronted another employee. The robbers demanded all the money in the register.
They got away with a small amount of cash. The victims were not harmed, but numerous children were present and were frightened during the robbery.
One suspect is a black male in his 20s, tall, thin and was armed with a handgun. He was wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and a red ski mask.
The other suspect is a black male in his 20s, short, thin and wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt with a bandana over part of his face. He was also armed with a rifle or shotgun.
Then less than 30 minutes later, police were dispatched to Harrisburg Hospital’s emergency room for a person who was injured in a robbery.
The victim said he was taking a walk when he was confronted by two robbers. One of the robbers approached and asked for a cigarette, while the other hit him on the back of the head with a handgun.
The robbers punched him in the face and yelled for him to empty his pockets. They took his jacket, cell phone and an ID card.
Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call Harrisburg Police Lt. Fegan at 717-255-3114.
