The Omaha Police Department is investigating two robberies that occurred within six hours of each other.
The first happened at 10:40 p.m. Monday at Sam’s Food and Liquor, near 30th & Farnam Street. An employee told investigators that a black male, described as 5’4,” wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a mask and jeans, displayed a firearm and demanded cash. The robber got away with money and some alcohol; he was last seen leaving the store, on foot, toward the southeast.
