Police are investigating two armed robberies that occurred in Berkeley over the weekend. 

A Berkeley woman walking home from the Downtown Berkeley BART station was robbed at gunpoint at about 8 p.m. Saturday night in the 1300 block of Addison Street. 

The victim was unable to describe both suspects, said Berkeley Police Lt.

He was wearing a light-colored top and dark pants. 

He took her leather shoulder bag containing a wallet, identification and checks but no cash. 

Around 4 a.m. Sunday, a man riding a bicycle near Haskell Street and San Pablo Avenue was robbed at gunpoint by two men. 

Maloney said the man, who lives in that area was approached by the suspects, who robbed the victim of cash and a wristwatch, 

The men drove away on Haskell Street in a yellow Jeep. 

The suspects were described as African-American males, one about 25 years old and 5 feet tall with a medium build, and the other about 40 years old, 5 feet 9 inches, 170 pounds. 

No suspects have been identified and Berkeley police are continuing to follow up on the incident.
