Police say that two men robbed The Game Room (4241 North Dixie Boulevard) at gunpoint around 11:15 PM on January 19th.
Two other masked men robbed Fun Game (2000 North County Road West) around 12:30 AM on January 20th.
The robbers in both incidents were Hispanic men who were wearing black hoodies, but police say the heists were pulled off by different suspects.
One of the suspects in the robbery at The Game Room is between the ages of 20 and 25, while the other suspect is described as being 25 years old.
One robber from The Game Room heist is reportedly 5'6" tall and weighs 120 pounds.
The other robber is reportedly 5'5" tall and he weighs 170 pounds.
Both robbers at The Game Room were wearing black hoodies, blue jeans, blue bandanas and dark sunglasses.
Both men were also armed.
Meanwhile, both suspects in the robbery at Fun Game were described as being 30 years old.
One robber is 5'3" tall and he weighs 130 pounds.
Police also say the man has brown eyes.
The other robber from the Fun Game heist is 5'8" tall, and he weighs 180 pounds.
Both robbers were wearing black hoodies, black pants and light gray turtleneck shirts.
An employee at The Game Room tells Big 2 that she believes the robberies are connected, since the robbers in both incidents had the same type of shoes on.
That employee -- who didn't want to be named -- added that robbers who ripped off the game room in the past also wore the same type of shoes.
Anyone with information on these robberies should call Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432) 333-TIPS (8477).
