Carbondale Police are looking for two suspects after an armed robbery Thursday night.
Investigators say the two men were wearing clown masks when they walked into the Dollar General on the city's west side around 9:00PM.

Witnesses say the men showed a gun as they demanded money.

One suspect was wearing a blue hoodie and gray pants, he's about six feet tall and 190 pounds. The second suspect is believed to be a white male, five-foot-nine, weighing 160 pounds. He was wearing a black hoodie, gray pants, and white shoes.

The two suspects ran away before police arrived. Anyone with information is asked to call 457-3200 or the anonymous Crime Stoppers line at 549-COPS.
