That’s in the Upper Middle Rd. and Appleby Line area.
A large group of youths told police they were in the park when they were approached by two unknown suspects.
One of the suspects – wearing a camouflage bandana covering his face – indicated they were possibly armed by gesturing toward a weapon concealed in his waistband.
Both suspects demanded that the groups empty their pockets, say police, and the victims turned over their cell phones, jewelry and student ID cards.
The suspects fled the scene and may have approached a second group of youths where they made a similar demand.
No one was injured.
The first suspect is described as male, black, between 18-to-25- years-old, standing 6-feet, weighing 200 pounds. He wore a black camouflage bandana that covered his face, a grey hoodie, and dark pants.
The second suspect is described as male, black, light-skinned, 18-to-25- years-old, standing 5-foot-7 with a thin build. He was wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants.
