In two separate incidents Thursday, two men were victims of armed robbery in Aquatic Park: one at Bay Street and Potter around 3 a.m. and the other at 11 p.m. on Bolivar Drive north of Bay Street. 

In each case the victim was robbed by a man with a gun. The two victims were in their own automobiles and the gunman arrived in another car. Although the first victim did not see the suspect, the second victim described the gunman as an African-American male, about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing about 230 pounds. He was wearing a three-quarter-length black jacket and dark pants. Police Capt. Bobby Miller said there is a possibility that the same suspect is responsible for both armed robberies. The victims lost wallets and cash.
