Circling vultures
A pair of ruffians robbed a couple at gunpoint on Woodpoint Road on March 28.
The victims told police that they were between Kingsland Avenue and Frost Street at 12:05 am when two menaces started circling them on bicycles. One of the guys came up behind the couple and struck a hard object against the back of the male victim’s head.
“Do not move or I will shoot,” he said to the victim. The other robber rode up behind the woman. “Where is your stuff?” he asked them.
The male victim told the robbers that his stuff was in his back pocket. They pulled his wallet and phone out and then asked him for his phone’s unlock code. The man gave it to them and the robbers rode away.
