Pine Bluff police are searching for two men who robbed a convenience store Saturday night.

The robbery occurred about 9:43 p.m., when two black men entered the Kwik Check Food Mart at 800 N. Bryant St. and took money from both cash registers. One of the robbers was armed with a handgun, police said.

The robbers got away with approximately $600 in cash and money orders, a police report states. After the robbery, witnesses say the robbers ran east on Malcomb Street.

Surveillance footage showed the armed robber wearing a black T-shirt, khaki cargo shorts with a striped red, black and white shirt pulled over his head and face, police said.

The other robber wore a red T-shirt with a white undershirt, black, knee-length short pants, black socks with lime green, chevron print, a lime green band on his left wrist, earrings in both ears, a red bandana on his face and a black do-rag on his head.

The store clerk told police that he shot at the robbers as they left the store, but he didn't hit them.

Information about the robbery can be reported to the Pine Bluff Police Department at (870) 730-2090.
