Duluth police have released photos of two suspects in the armed robbery of a local Japanese chain restaurant.

The two men entered Extreme Teriyaki on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard through an unlocked back door on Sept. 23, police said. One suspect walked toward the cashier and fired two shots into the ceiling while demanding money from the cash register.
