Authorities are looking for an armed robber who held up the same Albany Park business twice this month on the Northwest Side.

Both robberies happened at a business in the 4400 block of North Kedzie Avenue, according to a business alert from Chicago police.

In the first hold-up, the suspect walked into the business at 12:56 p.m. Dec. 1, pulled out a handgun and demanded money from the cash register, police said. He struck again at 5:08 p.m. Dec. 6, entering the business and demanding money at knifepoint. In both cases, he ran away on foot.

The robber is described as male between 17 and 20 years old, standing 5-foot-7 to 6-foot-1 and weighing 160 to 180 pounds, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Area North detectives at 312-744-8263.
