HOUSTON

The suspects are described only as black males, possibly in their 20s. They were wearing dark clothing and gloves, and used bandannas to cover their faces.

The suspects are believed responsible for burglaries of Little Caesar's Pizza restaurants on the following dates and locations:

• March 13 - 16282 Imperial Valley Drive
• March 27 - 212 East Crosstimbers
