Wichita police are looking into a possible crime spree on Sunday night involving three armed robberies in a span of 45 minutes.

The first hold-up happened after 10:30 p.m. Sunday, south of 13th & Oliver in N. Wichita; an employee reported two unknown male suspects entering the store with guns. The suspects demanded money, they were given cash, and ran away.

20 minutes later, another very similar armed robbery took place at Mt. Vernon & Oliver in the southeast part of Wichita, then 25 minutes after that, another hold-up west of Pawnee & Hydraulic.

Investigators are trying to confirm whether these three heists are connected.
