IOWA CITY  — Police are seeking two suspects who robbed an east-side convenience store dressed in black ninja gear.

Police say one of the two male teens showed a handgun and demanded money from the Deli Mart clerk and one customer just before 11 p.m. Sunday.

The two teenagers took an undisclosed amount of cash from the store and ran away through a shopping mall parking lot.

Neither the clerk nor the customer was injured.
