Tulsa police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying two suspects believed to be involved in an armed robbery that occurred late last month on the city’s east side.
According to the Tulsa Police Department, the robbery happened on Dec. 26 as a man was leaving work at a McDonald’s near 31st Street and Memorial Drive in Tulsa.
Investigators said the victim was approached by two individuals who displayed a firearm and demanded his bicycle. Fearing for his safety, the victim complied, and the suspects left the area with the stolen bike. No injuries were reported during the incident.
Police said the suspects fled the scene before officers arrived, making immediate identification difficult. However, the case took a turn when the victim’s daughter later spotted the individuals she believed were responsible. She was able to take photographs of the suspects, which investigators are now releasing to the public in hopes of identifying them.
Robbery detectives say the images could be key in advancing the investigation and holding those responsible accountable. Authorities have not released additional details about the suspects or whether they believe the robbery may be connected to other recent crimes in the area.
The Tulsa Police Department is encouraging anyone who recognizes the individuals in the photos or has information related to the robbery to come forward. Tips can be submitted through Tulsa Crime Stoppers, and callers may remain anonymous.
Police emphasize that even small details can be helpful as detectives continue working to identify the suspects and recover the stolen bicycle.
