CAMDEN (WPVI) -- Police are searching for two suspects in connection with two robberies in East Camden, New Jersey Friday.

The first incident occurred at around 4:45 a.m. near the corner of 23rd & High streets.

The victim was approached by two men wearing all black who got out of a black sedan. One of the suspects was waving a handgun, police say.

The suspects then took cash, a debit card and backpack from the victim before getting back into the car and fleeing the area.

About fifteen minutes later, around 5:00 a.m., police say another victim was standing near the corner of Dudley and Westfield.

The victim walked by a vehicle with the engine running and no lights were on. Police say the victim was then approached by a suspect who pointed a silver handgun at the victim.

The suspect made off with the victim's wallet and cell phone before fleeing.

The suspect in the second incident is described as a black male approximately 5'4" tall and wearing an orange baseball cap.

Police say the suspect was in a black sedan, possibly a BMW.

Anyone with information on this individual or vehicle is asked to immediately call the Camden County Police Department tip line at (856) 757-7042.

Camden police say both robberies may have been committed by the same suspects.
