Two men are accused in an armed robbery at a Circle K on Dec. 26, police said.

Authorities are looking for two suspects they say robbed a man at gunpoint at a northwest Atlanta gas station.

Photos of the two men accused in the robbery were released Tuesday. One was wearing a blue hoodie and yellow shoes, while the other was wearing a black hoodie, gray pants and white shoes, surveillance footage shows.

According to Atlanta police, the suspects held a man at gunpoint at the Circle K at 343 Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard on Dec. 26. A white bag and cellphone were stolen from the victim at about 7:45 p.m., police said. The suspects then fled the location.

Authorities did not say if the suspects knew the victim or if the robbery was targeted.

The Circle K is across the street from B.T. Harvey Stadium and near several other Morehouse College buildings.
