Police are looking for leads to evening robbery at a Lincoln storefront.

Just after 9:30 Saturday evening, police were called to the Save Best store at 27th & Y Streets.

According to Captain Jason Stille, officers responding were told the suspect used a silver revolver and took the victim's wallet with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspects are described as being black men. One suspect is about 30-35 years old, about 5'8" tall, 160 lbs. He was wearing a tan and white ball cap, black tee shirt and jeans.

The second suspect is described as being between 35 and 45-years-old, around 210 lbs. with a muscular build. He was wearing a light brown colored sweatshirt and sweat pants.

The suspects fled in a silver Chrysler 300.

Moments after the initial call, officers spotted a silver Chrysler 300 near 27th and Vine Streets, just five blocks from the store.

Several officers stopped that vehicle near 26th & U Streets, removing the occupants of the car at gunpoint. The detainees were held until they were confirmed as not being involved in the robbery.

Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call Lincoln Crimestoppers at 402-475-3600.
