Police Seek Robbery Suspects



     SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Sioux Falls police arrested a suspect
in an attempted robbery of a convenience store and were looking for
the second suspect, along with a man who robbed a local casino at
knifepoint.
     Authorities say that man played video lottery for a half hour at
Executive Casino early Thursday before pulling out the weapon,
demanding money from the till and fleeing first on foot and then in
a pickup truck driven by another man.
     The robbery at Cubby's convenience store was the fourth in a
month's time at the business. Police say the two suspects walked
into the store early Thursday and demanded money but they were
observed by officers. The officers arrested a 19-year-old man, but
the second suspect got away.
