AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Amarillo police are looking for a suspect who attempted to rob two motels early Wednesday morning.

The first happened around 2:00 a.m. at the Sleep Inn at 2401 IH-40 east. The desk clerk was on the phone when a man wearing a black mask, and carrying a pistol tried to enter. Police say the inner doors are locked at night, and that kept the gunman out and he left.

The second attempted robbery happened at the Travelodge. The clerk saw a man wearing a black mask and carrying a pistol entering the motel.

The clerk ran to the back of the motel and locked himself in an office, and the gunman fled.

If you have any information you are asked to call Amarillo Police at 373-3038.
