Robbery

Two boys were robbed at gunpoint at 12:50 p.m. on Aug. 23 on the 1000 block of Dewey Avenue. They told police that they were walking toward the downtown library from the Robert Crowne Center and walked across the field toward Dewey. On the street, they were approached by a black teenager on a BMX bicycle. The cyclist asked if they had cell phones, then flashed a silver pistol. The boys gave up their cell phones, each worth $100, and one of them also gave him $30 cash. He then took off on his bike. The suspect had a dark complexion and a medium build and short hair, about 5-foot-10 inches tall. He wore all black clothing, including a hoodie, a dickey and long pants.
