DETROIT -

Detroit police say they're looking for a group of young men believed responsible for at least 15 armed robberies at gas stations and one attempted robbery.

Police say the string of robberies started Oct. 10 and the latest were Wednesday morning.

During the robberies, police say the men typically walk into the gas stations armed with an assault weapon and announce a holdup. They take cash and flee. In the attempted robbery, police say the men crashed a vehicle into the front of a gas station Oct. 10 but fled before getting inside.

No injuries have been reported in the robberies so far. Police say they plan to release a still photo of the suspects. They're seeking tips from the public.
