The two incidents may be linked to the same suspects, police said.

The armed robbery at Zippy's Restaurant at 1222 S. King St. was reported at 1:15 a.m.

A 25-year-old man told police he was confronted in the parking lot by two masked men armed with handguns, who came out from a van parked next to his car. The man reportedly was struck above the left eye by one of the gunmen and on the nose by the other suspect, police said.

The victim shoved a third suspect away and ran back into the restaurant. The man later discovered his car was missing. The vehicle has not been recovered.

At 2:20 a.m., a 24-year-old woman reported that a masked man forced his way into her Kamoku Street residence and demanded money. After searching her bedroom, the man allegedly fondled the woman. The woman told police she did not see but heard a second person searching her residence.
