The victim of the first robbery told the officers that three black males in a tan pickup truck pulled up beside him. The three got out of the truck assaulted him and stole his wallet. After the robbery they got back into the truck and fled the area. The victim could provide no additional details. Our second victim faced similar circumstances however this time one of the suspects displayed a handgun as he announced the robbery.
