Police are seeking information on two armed robbers who are suspected of committing 11 robberies and one attempted robbery since March.

The men usually walk into a store near closing time with their faces covered by a mask or a bandana. They have been seen on surveillance video forcing store employees to hand over cash while they are being held at gunpoint.

Surveillance cameras captured a clear photo of one of the men when his mask fell off during a robbery Thursday.

The robbers have been described as white or Hispanic males. One is described as being a teen, from 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-6, and weighing about 120 pounds.

The other is described as being in his late teens to his late 20s, from 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9 and weighing about 180 pounds.
