Armed Robbery
May 15, 2015
On Sunday 05/03/15, at about 11:30 p.m., officers responded to the area of Cleveland Av and Emter St for a report of an armed robbery with a knife. Several officers responded. The suspects were not located.
Upon arrival officers located an 18 year old male and an 18 year old female who both provided information that the armed robbery took place in Riverside Park. Both explained they were sitting in a vehicle in Riverside Park, in the 100 blk of Sherman Street, when two males with knives approached the vehicle and demanded money.
The suspects had the victims exit the vehicle and then searched the vehicle, looking under the seats and going through the glove compartments. The males removed a Subway bag that contained a sandwich and a Walmart bag that contained some perfume and feminine hygiene products. The suspects also took some money from each victim.
The victims said they were told if they did not cooperate they would be punched and if they ran they would be shot in the back. The victims never saw the suspects display a firearm, only a folding 5 inch knife. The suspects asked them to lay face down on the ground. The female did, but the male victim fled the scene on foot to the area of Thomas St and Cleveland Av where he knocked on a neighbor’s door and was able to call 911 and ask for the help.
The female said that once the suspects heard the police sirens they fled the park on foot and she then called 911 and asked for officers. Both victims said they were not injured and did not need any medical attention. They met with officers for the next few hours and provided information and suspect descriptions.
The suspects are described as follows:
Suspect number 1- Described as a skinny male dressed in black saggy jeans and a sweatshirt with a hood pulled over his head, but may have “afro” type hair. Wearing black hunting gloves. Wearing a blue bandana pulled over his face, but appeared to have a pockmarked face. The suspect is believed to be a White/Male, thin build, 5’05” tall. Approximately 16 to 20 years of age.
