Lexington police are looking for two young men who have been committing violent robberies at Lexington gas stations.
Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department tells LEX 18’s Kristen Pflum that the two young men know they are wanted, but they have no intention of slowing down.
Lexington police say that it is time for 18-year-old Travontez Lillard to give himself up.

“It’s a matter of time before somebody is either in the gas station and gets fed up and shoots back or one of these guys is gonna get hurt some other way,” said Thomas.
Viewers who watched our December 8th Crime Stoppers broadcast were able to identify both robbers caught on camera. By that time they had help up three gas stations.
Police say they have gone on to rob at least two more stores this past week.
“They’re still going in, guns in your face, sticking a pistol right to the heads of these clerks and saying, ‘give me your cash, give me your cash,’” said Thomas.
Crime Stoppers is offering a thousand dollars cash, just in time for Christmas, for the person willing to turn in Lillard and his 17-year-old accomplice.
Police warn that there are likely to be more robberies.
“This is another perfect example of a group of guys that won’t stop until somebody steps in and intervenes and we physically have to put handcuffs on them to keep them from putting a gun in someone’s face,” Thomas told LEX 18’s Kristen Pflum.
Crime Stoppers will take anonymous tips and still issue the reward. Just call the tipline at (859) 253- 2020 if you know where Lillard is.
Police say they have already spoke to the parents and relatives of both robbers.
