Akron Police are investigating two robberies of pizza delivery drivers within an hour and just a few miles of one another Sunday night into Monday morning. 

A Dominos driver was robbed of cash by two suspects, one who had a gun, along Power Street around 11:40 Sunday night.

About 50 minutes later, at 12:30 a.m., three men robbed the second driver on Huber street.

The latest incidents make 8 total pizza delivery drivers that have been robbed in Akron in the past three months.

Just before 7 p.m. Sunday, Stow Police were called about the robbery of a pizza driver. 

According to the report, the driver arrived at a home on Hibbard Drive and said a man came at him with a large kitchen knife, demanding all his money. After he took the money, the suspect hopped in the driver's Hyundai Sonata and took off. 

The suspect was later identified as 45-year-old Matthew Robert Guzik (pictured) of Stow. Police caught up with him the next day, Monday, in Sagamore Hills.

The report indicates that Guzik used a fake name when placing the pizza order, but had the food delivered to his home. The driver told police that Guzik said he was robbing him because of marital problems and that he was "feeling very angry."

Guzik was being held in Summit County Jail and due for arraignment Monday.
