Halifax Regional Police are investigating two robberies at Dartmouth businesses overnight.
At around 12:35 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a call at a Boston Pizza on Portland street. Two men allegedly entered the restaurant with a knife and demanded money from staff. One of the staff members confronted the men and was assaulted, but was not seriously injured. No money was stolen but the men left with some alcohol.
At 12:51, police responded to a robbery at a Needs convenience store on Price Albert Road. Two men with a knife demanded cash and cigarettes from the employee and left the store with an undisclosed amount of money.

The first suspect is described as a white male in his twenties with short hair wearing a camouflage jacket, a black hooded sweater, a black baseball cap, blue jeans and white sneakers. The second is described as a white male in his twenties wearing a green and black hooded jacket, dark pants and camouflage boots.
The robberies are being investigated by Halifax Police's Integrated General Investigative Section.
