San Antonio police are looking for two robbers who they believe may have been on a small crime spree. The two armed suspects who dress in ninja-like outfits have carried out their crimes.

Police said their latest target was a Valero corner store in the 10400 block of I-35 North. It happened around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. According to investigators, two men dressed in black with scarves that cover their faces like the children's cartoon, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," came into the business demanding money. At least one of them had a gun, police said.

They got away with several hundred dollars and some cigarettes. That may seem like a small yield.  However, officers believe this same group has been targetting north-side businesses and resident in recent weeks. So far, they managed to escape being caught.

Investigators at the scene said this morning's robbery was caught on surveillance tape. It could provide some leads in the case.

No one was injured.
