Metro Police are asking for help in finding men in connection with two unrelated robberies.

The suspect is described as black, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds with a shaved head, police said. He reportedly was armed with a large frame revolver.

On Sept. 8 a beauty supply store in the 1000 block of North Rancho Drive was robbed, and four days later a convenience store in the 1500 block of North Rancho was robbed by the same suspect, police said.

The suspect is described as black, in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, 200 pounds, with a shaved head and a mustache.
