Tulsa Police are asking for the public's help to find a suspect in a double rape and robbery. It happened Saturday evening at the Marketplace Shopping Center in the 9200 block of East Admiral Place.

Police say two women were working at a salon when a man walked into the shop for a haircut. As they prepared to give him one, the suspect pulled out a handgun and robbed them. He then forced the women to the back of the store where he raped them.

Police say this is a busy shopping area, so they hope someone saw the man. Tulsa Police Sgt Gary Stansill: "It's a brazen type of attack and we have some indication this perpetrator put some planning into this."

The suspect is described as a white male. 5 feet 7 inches tall. 150 pounds, with long, wavy blonde hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a tan, knee length jacket with two large pockets.

If you have any information call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS. You can remain anonymous.
