TULSA, OK -- Police are looking for suspects involved in two armed robberies overnight.

Police officers were called to the Subway at 7000 East Admiral just after 11 p.m. Monday. Employees told police, two males dressed in dark clothing and masks entered the store and forced three employees at gunpoint to lie on the floor, while they took cash from the register.

Then just before midnight, Tulsa Police were called to a nearby Braums at 7100 East Admiral.

Police say an employee was leaving the store when a man dressed in dark clothing approached her and forced her back inside.

The employee told police, the suspect took money from the safe.

Police aren't sure if the robberies are connected.

"Don't have any information right now that specifically ties the two together other than the close proximity and the within one hour of time frame," said Tulsa Police officer Brett Bailey.

No one was hurt in either robbery.

In both cases, police say the suspects ran off on foot.
