Niagara police are searching for two men after an armed robbery at a St. Catharines convenience store.

Police are looking to identify the men who are both described as black, about six-feet tall, with medium builds. The pair wore white and black bandanas over their faces and black hoodies. The first man had black gloves and white running shoes while the second man wore black running shoes with white soles.

Anyone with information that could help with the investigation is asked to contact Niagara police.
