Oak Cliff crime spree
What we know:
Dallas Police say an unknown suspect robbed two delivery drivers in Oak Cliff in the middle of the night, and the robberies happened within minutes of each other.
The first robbery happened in the 1600 block of Fort Worth Avenue near a White Rhino Coffee shop around 2:30 a.m., where a pastry delivery driver was confronted by a suspect brandishing a butcher knife.
The suspect demanded the driver's car, which he gave to him out of fear for his life.
Around ten minutes after the robbery, the suspect drove the stolen car to the intersection of Hampton Road and Illinois Avenue to a 7-Eleven gas station.
The suspect abandoned the stolen vehicle and proceeded to threaten a Frito-Lay delivery driver with the butcher knife. He's seen on camera threatening the driver, who flees through the back of the truck.
The suspect then takes the second vehicle and drives south on Hampton Road.
Both vehicles have been recovered following the robberies.
