A grocery store in Council Bluffs was robbed Wednesday night, the second such incident at the same store in less than one week. Council Bluffs Police say officers were called to the Mega Saver store at 3540 W. Broadway, at around 11:23-p.m., Wednesday.

A victim of the robbery told police a 17-to 25-year old black male wearing a red hoodie, blue jeans and black shoes entered the store, pulled a black handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the victim demanding the money from the register.

The victim backed up and the suspect opened the registers and removed the cash from the register. The suspect then fled on foot to the west. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported.  Two similar suspects, wearing grey hoodies, robbed the store at around 12:15-a.m. Tuesday. They escaped in a white SUV.

If you have any information regarding either incident, case please call Crime Stoppers at 712-328-7867.
