COLUMBUS—Columbus Police are looking for two men suspected in the armed holdup of a cell phone store.

It happened shortly before 6 p.m. on Sunday at the Cellular Connection/Verizon Wireless store, 2075 West Jonathan Moore Pike, near State Road 46 and I 65, on the city's west side.

According to Columbus Police, the two men demanded money from the cash register and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and cell phones. Store employees and customers were not hurt.

As described by police, suspect one is a black male between 20 and 40 years old, about 5'8" tall, with stocky build and broad shoulders. He was wearing a blue and yellow hooded sweatshirt, khaki pants and sunglasses. He also had a long bandage on his left arm.
