The suspects are described as two male blacks, one is 5'7, 160 lbs, 15-20 years of age, and the other 5'10 with no further description.

Please advise residents we have no other robberies in Union Station matching this MO but continue to be cautious when out at night. Most importantly, please cooperate with the robbers and don't risk injury. We have investigators actively working this case now and the Union Station will increase patrol in that neighborhood.
