RIO RANCHO, N.M. — Rio Rancho police are asking for help in identifying the suspect who robbed the GameStop store at 701 Unser Blvd. at gunpoint about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The suspect ran out of the store after obtaining money from the cash register.

Police believe this robbery may be connected with another that occurred on Monday at the KFC restaurant at 2003 Southern Blvd. The suspect went into the restaurant and approached the cash register. He lifted his jacket revealing the butt of a handgun and ordered the cashier to give him money.

In that case, the suspect did not obtain any money before he fled from the store.

Police are asking anyone who may help in identifying the person in the pictures, or may have information about the crime to contact Detective Janet Garcia at 891-5942.
