Officials are investigating three armed robberies in Phoenix that happened overnight, and they're looking for three men.

The first robbery occurred near 14th Avenue and Thomas Road at 1:02 a.m. The second incident happened near Central Avenue and Buckeye Road 43 minutes after. The final incident happened on 54th Avenue and Indian School Road around 2 a.m. 

Police are looking for three men in connection to the robberies. 

The first suspect is described as being between the ages of 20 and 25, was wearing a white athletic jersey and a black hooded sweatshirt along with camouflage shorts and black shoes. 

The second individual is between 20 and 25 years old, weighs over 200 pounds, is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, and was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, black hat and red shoes. 

The final suspect police are looking for is described as being between 20 and 25 years of age, is about 6 feet tall, weighs about 175 pounds and was wearing a white and black striped hooded sweatshirt, dark jacket, black pants and tennis shoes. 

All incidents involved the trio entering stores armed with a long barrel hunting style rifle. They demanded money in each incident.

Police recovered a maroon minivan which they believe the trio used. The vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run collision near 19th and Missouri avenues. 

No injuries occurred during the robberies.
