Police searching for 2 suspects accused of robbing Lucky Lounge at gunpoint

The Austin Police Department (APD) is asking for help looking for two suspects in the robbery of a South Austin business last month.

Police said on Oct. 16, around 3:04 a.m., officers responded to the Lucky Lounge at 11530 Menchaca Road in reference to a robbery.

The suspects entered the store armed with a semiautomatic pistol. When they got inside, one of the suspects pointed the firearm at a female customer’s face and took her purse. The same suspect then robbed the cashier at gunpoint. 

The second suspect remained at the door as a lookout.
