Three Minneapolis pharmacies were robbed within a span of about 30 minutes on Wednesday night.

The robberies in south Minneapolis occurred one right after another, Minneapolis police said.

The descriptions of the two robbers were the same in all three cases, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). People providing information leading to the arrest and charges of these suspects may be eligible for a reward.
