Superior Police Investigating Two Separate Robberies Within 24 Hours

SUPERIOR, Wis. – Superior police say they are investigating two unrelated robberies that happened within a 24 hour period in Superior earlier this week.

According to the Superior Police Department, officers responded to a report of a robbery at the Walgreens located on 2015 Tower Avenue around 11 p.m. Wednesday.

An employee told officers that a white male had been shopping in the store for about 10 minutes before he approached the cash register brandishing a knife and demanding money.

The suspect was described as being approximately six feet tall, wearing a dark-colored stocking hat, and a dark-colored sweatshirt.

Authorities say the suspect fled before police arrived at the scene.

On Thursday, officers responded to a second robbery, this time at the Super One Foods located at 1515 Oakes Avenue.

Police say a female reported she had been robbed in the parking lot by an unknown white female around 1:15 p.m.

The female suspect pulled out a butcher-style knife and demanded money from the victim.

The suspect fled the area before police arrived at the scene.
