A pair of men committed two armed robberies within roughly one minute on a street in Albany Park last week, police warn.

In both instances, two men went up to parked cars, brandished a gun and took victims' property. Both robberies happened in the 4700 block of N Central Park Ave. on April 19— one at around 11:05 p.m., the second at 11:06 p.m., according to police.

One suspect is roughly 5-foot-10, between 140 and 160 pounds. He wore a mask during the robberies, according to police. He and the other suspect fled in an unknown vehicle with LED headlights. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (312) 744-8263.
