Police were looking for two men involved in a string of crimes at two Indio businesses in the same area Tuesday.
According to Sgt Dan Marshall of the Indio Police Department, two suspects walked into the Domino’s Pizza on the 82900 block of Avenue 42.
They simulated an unknown type weapon and demanded money. Employees told KESQ / CBS Local 2 the suspects ran out of the store empty-handed when the cashier couldn’t open the safe.

Minutes later, the same two suspects walked into the Dollar Tree right across the street. Again they simulated an unknown type weapon and demanded money. They left the store with an undisclosed amount of money.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
The suspects remain on the loose, police have very little descriptions of the two suspects at this time.
