SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for two suspects who robbed an East Side Church's Chicken Tuesday and may be connected to another robbery at the same chain last week.

Officers responded to the Church's Chicken in the 1200 block of Steves Avenue around 1 p.m.

Detectives and officers at the scene declined to provide any details, but did confirm that two suspects, who were armed, robbed the restaurant.

One of the suspects was armed with a handgun. He held up the cashier while the other suspect stole money from the register.

The suspects in the Thursday robbery were described as a black man and a Hispanic man. One of them was wearing a bandanna, and the other was wearing a hoodie.
