Men sought in two armed robberies of Modesto stores

Police are looking for the men who robbed two Modesto stores at gunpoint over the past week.

On Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m., a Caucasian or Latino man armed with an AR-15-style rifle robbed Henry's Liquors, 1100 Carver Road, south of Roseburg Avenue.

He was dressed in a gray hooded sweat shirt with a black zipper, with the hood cinched tightly around his face. He wore distressed designer blue jeans and blue-gray athletic shoes.

Early Wednesday, a man showed a gun while robbing the Quik Stop convenience store at Lakewood and Briggsmore avenues.

Surveillance images show a white male who appears to be in his 20s or 30s, with close-cropped hair and a scraggly beard. He was wearing a dark hoodie, dark pants and large backpack.

We'll have more information as it's available.
