On Sunday afternoon, a man walking on Collins Avenue and Ninth Terrace around 3 p.m. was approached and robbed of a cell phone by two masked men – one of whom was armed with a handgun.

Police also said that last Friday, June 12, two women were sitting in a silver Nissan Cube in front of a home off Solider Road shortly before 8 p.m., when they were approached by two men armed with handguns who robbed them of the car and personal items.
