SALEM, Ore. -- Two similar crimes have Marion County deputies searching for a pair of armed robbers in the Salem area.
A man armed with a gun robbed the State Street Market at 9:21 p.m. on Saturday. Security cameras at the market captured the robber as he entered the store. The man, who wore a ski mask over his face, is seen heading to the counter, showing the clerk a gun and taking off with cash seconds later.
He then escaped in a white 1992 Honda Accord reported as stolen, deputies said. The two-door car with black bumpers has chrome wheels, an Oregon Ducks "O" decal in the back window and an Everest College rear bumper sticker.
Shortly before the man walked off camera, he lifted the ski mask off his face. Sheriff's deputies hope someone will recognize him from the video. They describe him as 6 feet tall and 175 pounds with a medium build and no facial hair. He wore overalls with several grease stains and also wore black shoes and black gloves.
People who live in the area of the market said it's necessary to keep an eye out for crime in the neighborhood.
"(It's) a little unsafe, but you just have to watch your surroundings and make sure that there's no one around. You just watch out for people," said Vicki Lorusso, who was shopping Monday.
One hour before the State Street robbery, another man committed a similar armed robbery at a 76 station. For his getaway, he used a white Honda stolen from the parking lot of a nearby Toys R Us store.
Deputies found the stolen vehicle abandoned on Eldin Avenue, but the robber remains at large. He is described as a white man in his 20s and wore a black ski mask and blue jeans in the robbery.
Marion County Lt. Sheila Lorance said in a news release that the robberies are not connected.
