FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- Police in Fayetteville are asking for the public's help in identifying a robbery suspect.

Authorities say the suspect first tried to rob the Skylite Tobacco Mart on Morganton Road early Wednesday morning.

Authorities say he left when he couldn't get into the business, but surveillance video captured the incident on camera.

Then about three hours later, the same suspect entered the Burger King on South Reilly Road armed with a pistol.

Police say he robbed the business at gunpoint and then fled the scene.

The suspect was described as standing between 5' 8" and 5' 9" and weighing between 140 and 180 pounds.

If you recognize the suspect, you are asked to call Detective R. DeShields at (910) 580-3016.
