CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Two armed robbery suspects are wanted after allegedly taking $100 from a man at gunpoint in Cambridge.
Cambridge Police tell Boston 25 News the robbery happened around 1 p.m. on Franklin Street when the two suspects approached a 22-year-old and demanded money.
One suspect, described by the victim as a Middle Eastern-looking man around 5 feet 8 inches tall with a mohawk, reportedly pulled a gun out during the robbery. The victim said that man was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, skinny jeans and carrying a green and dark blue backpack.
The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male around 6 feet tall. At the time he was said to be wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black track pants with whites stripes on each side.
"Just around 1 o’clock a lot of police cars came thru the area flooded the area," Cambridge resident Tom Sheehan said. "They were pretty anxious to locate whoever they were looking for."
Police tell Boston 25 News they searched the area but were unable to locate the suspects. Based on the descriptions, officers are looking into the possibility that the suspects may be known within the department.
In the past week, the usually safe neighborhood in Cambridge has seen some violent crime.
Last Tuesday, there was an assault and Green Street. On Thursday, there was a murder on Hampshire Street.
Police tell Boston 25 News that having three incidents in the same area is just a coincidence, and they do not believe they are connected.
