OTTAWA — Ottawa police are asking for help in finding two men who staged an armed robbery at Dollar General, 2212 S. Princeton, and caused minor injuries to two female employees Tuesday night. Two masked men with cutting instruments or razor blades entered Dollar General shortly before 9 p.m., Ottawa Police Lt. Adam Weingartner said. The robbers left the store on foot in an unknown direction with an undisclosed amount of money, Weingartner said. Police have no leads or suspects in the case, he said. A witness reported seeing a small, blue vehicle leaving the parking lot about the time of the robbery but it’s unknown if the vehicle is connected to the robbery, he said.
