The first robbery happened at about 9 p.m. Saturday in the 1900 block of 33rd Street.
A man was returning home and unlocking his door when a white heavy-set man came up behind him, knocked him down and took his wallet.
The suspect was wearing blue jeans and a light blue work shirt.
The other robbery happened at about 1 a.m. at a Cefco store on SE HK Dodgen Loop.
A white man about 5'10", 150 lbs., walked into the store with his hand covered with a towel.
The suspect demanded money from the clerk.
When the clerk shut the cash register drawer, the suspect took the drawer and left the store driving an older model tan truck.
