Police are looking for two men robbed a gas station in Council Bluffs early Saturday morning.

On Saturday shortly after midnight, officers responded to a reported robbery at the Lake Manawa BP Gas Station on Veterans Memorial Highway in Council Bluffs.

Subsequent investigation revealed that two suspects entered the gas station with one suspect armed with a handgun.  They demanded money from the cash registers and stole an undermined amount of cash as well as cigarettes and a phone.  The suspects then fled the area.

A nearby witness saw the suspects get into a red car which they said might be an early 2000’s model Mitsubishi Eclipse or Eagle Talon with Nebraska plates.  The suspects fled the scene traveling west on Veterans Memorial Highway.

One suspect was described as being a black male wearing a black or navy hoodie with dark sweatpants and a purple bandana over his face.  The second suspect is described as being a black male wearing a gray hoodie with light gray sweatpants and a purple bandana over his face.

No injuries were reported with the robbery.
