Two teen-agers have been arrested in connection with a series of week-end armed robberies in Omaha.

According to police, one of the two, a 17-year-old, walked into the Tobacco Road Discounts store at 50th and Saddle Creek pulled a ski mask over his face before pulling a gun and demanding money.

We're told he took cash out of the register, then demanded more money from the safe before firing the gun and demanding even more cash.

Police say once he had the added money he fired the gun again before taking off.

The other stores hit were a Family Dollar Store and two gas stations.

We're told he pulled the gun at each location and fired two more shots at one of those other gas stations.

In addition a 16-year-old, accused of being an accomplice, is also under arrest
