DOUGLAS COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a pair of armed robberies in Lawrence that may involve the same suspects.
Just after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a business in the 900 block of W 23rd Street in Lawrence for a report of an armed robbery. A male suspect allegedly brandished a firearm and demanded money from an employee before making off with cash and fleeing on foot.
Investigators are following up on leads, including investigating whether this incident is related to an armed robbery at a business next door 8 days ago. The two businesses share a building. No injuries were reported in the robbery on Tuesday.
