Both incidents happened in the early morning hours on Oct. 9, authorities said. 

At around 12:30 a.m., four men approached an employee outside of Bally Pizza, 5200 N. Mascher St., and forced him inside, according to police.

The robbers stole $3,000 from the register and forced both workers to empty their pockets before fleeing in a white SUV, officials said. 

Then, around 5 a.m., two armed men got out of a white SUV and approached a 21-year-old at the North Front Street/Wyoming Avenue bus stop, said police. 

They forced the victim into their car and made him give up his debit PIN code before withdrawing money from his account multiple times, authorities said. 

The robbers stole his phone, watch, headphones, and other belongings and then abandoned him near a laundromat, PPD said.
