The Meridian Police Department is looking for two men involved in incidents last weekend.
One man, described as a black male, entered the El Cheapo's store on 14th Street at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday and stole two cartons of cigarettes after threatening the clerk with a stick, said MPD Detective Dean Harper.
Harper also said police are seeking a suspect described as a white male who attempted to steal a purse by wresting it away from a woman in the parking lot of Bonita Lakes Mall.
Harper said the incident happened about 12:30 p.m. Friday.
Anyone with information related to these incidents can call Crime Stoppers at 485-1860.
