For the second time in a month, armed bandits robbed a GameStop location in Washington Township, police reported.

Two males entered the store, located in Crosskeys Commons, Nov. 25 around 8:30 p.m. The pair brandished knives and held them against the employees as they forced their victims to empty cash registers, authorities said.

They fled in a dark-colored, four-door sedan -- possibly an Acura TSX -- with an unknown amount of money. No injuries were reported.

The robbers are described as white, one 5 feet 10 inches tall, more than 200 pounds, and wearing a blue hoodie with "Akademiks Jeanius" on the front. The other is about 6 feet tall and more than 220 pounds.
