NEWPORT NEWS — Police here are asking the public for help in identifying two men they say robbed a business at gunpoint.

And authorities released surveillance camera footage of the incident.

It happened after 10 p.m. Sunday at Soft Time, 15392 Warwick Blvd.

There, officers spoke with two employees “who stated that they were leaving the business when two suspects got out of a light blue 80s model Toyota, with a missing driver’s side hubcap, held them at gunpoint and demanded they return to the business where they demanded cash.”

After taking money, the suspects left northbound on Warwick Boulevard. One suspect was described as a black male 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, wearing a black mask and black jumpsuit.

The other suspect is described as a white or bi-racial male 5-foot-8, between 150-160 pounds, wearing a burgundy hoodie, black pants and black Adidas shoes.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have information about the suspects to call the Crime Line at 888-LOCK-U-UP.
