Tulsa Police say members of the Northern Oklahoma Violent Crimes Task Force arrested two men in connection with three armed robberies including one in which the robber called 911 himself.

Police identified the suspects as Kiantre Belcher, 25, and Armad Gix, 30, both of Tulsa.

Here's a list of the robberies and their locations:

July 21, 2014: Dollar General, 7854 East Admiral Place, Tulsa

July 25, 2014: Dollar General, 13886 East 146th Street North, Collinsville

July 26, 2014: Kwik Stop, 12402 East 11th Street, Tulsa

According to jail documents, surveillance video demonstrated to police that the same three men committed all three robberies. Police say the robbers wore the same clothing in each robbery and also used the same tactics. They say one robber would walk inside each store while using a phone to describe the lay-out to the other two robbers.

Police arrested Gix on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, thanks to a tip. According to the report on his arrest, Gix admitted to taking part in the robberies on July 21st and 25th. He told police he was inside casing the Dollar General at the time of the robbery on July 21st and was on the phone with his two accomplices when they robbed it.

He said an employee asked him to call 911 to report the robbery. Gix told officers he then dialed 911 and reported "the robbery that he was actually involved in."

Gix also admitted that he was the getaway driver for the robbery of the Dollar General in Collinsville on July 25th.

Based on what Gix told them, police arrested Belcher at Belcher's house in the 2700 block of East 28th Street North a few minutes before 10 o'clock on Thursday night.

They found a 1999 gold Chevy Blazer in Belcher's front yard, which matched the vehicle that police say can be seen on surveillance video from one of the robberies.

Belcher is being held on three counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon with a bond of $150,000.

Gix is in jail on two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and his bond is $100,000.

Police are still looking for the third person they say was involved in the robberies.

Belcher's attorney, Beverly Atteberry, contacted News On 6 and said he maintains he is not guilty of the crimes. He said he has medical records to show he's had multiple surgeries in the past year, including in the 30 days before the robbery. He said it would be next to impossible for Belcher to walk into a store and rob it since he can barely put any weight on his leg.
