PHOENIX - A string of convenience store robberies took place across Phoenix throughout November and early December, and authorities have yet to identify suspects.

According to Silent Witness, at least nine robberies occurred at various Circle K and Walgreens locations in the Phoenix area.

During the robberies, some of which involved physical force, the suspects directly target the cigarette displays, taking packages and cartons of cigarettes from the stores.

The suspects are described as two males, one black and the other black or Hispanic.

The black or Hispanic suspect is between 20 and 30 years old, thin and around 5-feet-11-inches tall.

The other suspect is of medium build, between 30 and 40 years old. He reportedly wears prescription glasses.

Silent Witness is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the crime.

Information can be given online or by calling 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).
