ELKHART — Elkhart police have released a description of the two suspects involved in a robbery of the Olive Garden on Brittany Court Friday.

Around 1 p.m. two men, one armed with a silver handgun, robbed the Olive Garden and ran out of the building heading north.

Several witnesses told police they saw the men go inside the nearby Applebees Restaurant and then K-Mart soon after the robbery. Police believe the suspects may have changed clothes in the Applebees restroom, and then left the scene in a vehicle somewhere between Applebees and K-Mart.

Police describe the suspects as follows:

1) White male, 6'1" - 6'2", thin build, blue eyes, navy hoodie with white lettering, blue mask and black boots.
2) White male, 5'8" - 5'9", heavy build (210-220 pounds), navy hoodie with brown lettering, dark pants.

One of the suspects was carrying a blue and white backpack during the robbery.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Detective John Hammel of the Elkhart Police Department at 295-7076.
