Tucson police are looking for three men who robbed four convenience stores this week, including three early today.
The men robbed two Circle K’s and a Quik Mart within 45 minutes this morning and escaped with an undisclosed amount of money, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
Pacheco and a police news release gave the following information:
The robbing spree began just after 2 a.m. Wednesday when three men armed with handguns went into the Circle K at 8630 E. Golf Links Road and ordered the clerk on the ground.
The robbers took all the money from the cash register, dragged an ATM to the back of the store and took the money from inside the machine.
They struck again today at 4:48 a.m., when two of the men walked into a Circle K at 7900 E. Broadway with handguns and ordered the clerk to the floor. They took the money from the cash register, but were unable to pry open the ATM.

The men fled in a vehicle that might have been driven by the third robber. No vehicle description was available.
About 10 minutes later, two men entered another Circle K at 7475 E. 22nd St., ordered the clerk to the floor and emptied the cash register. They also tried to pry open the store’s ATM, but were unsuccessful.
The fourth robbery took place 27 minutes later at the Quik Mart at 1204 N. Alvernon Way, when the same men ordered the clerk to the floor, took the money from the register and fled before police arrived.
The robbers are described as between 18 and 25 years old and 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-11 in height.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
