Once they complied, police said the suspects fled the scene in what was described as a silver 2016 Hyundai Sedan last seen bearing Maryland tags 9DB4914.

Images of the two suspects and their vehicle were taken by a security camera.

According to the news release, the first robbery happened around 11:25 a.m. in the 3800 block of Minnesota Avenue NE.

The second incident happened about five minutes later in the 3900 block of Benning Road NE.

The third robbery happened shortly before 2:30 p.m. in the 3800 block of Minnesota Avenue NE.

Anyone with information about the suspects in the pictures of the car is asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text their tip to 50411.
