Police are seeking the public's help in locating two armed robbery suspects whose distinctive appearance was front-and-center in an array of surveillance photos taken at a convenience store where they allegedly spent some of their bounty.

According to Minneapolis police, 20 minutes after a woman was held up at gunpoint in the 4200 block of Linden Hills Blvd., another woman used the victim's credit card to purchase $300 of gift cards at a SuperAmerica on E. Lake Street. That woman was photographed in the store and getting out of a car in the parking lot with a male, who had a Mohawk and numerous tattoos. The robbery occurred about 10 p.m. on June 23.

Walter Carlson at 612-673-3856 and cite case number 13-199779. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information.
