Cambridge Police looking to identify 2 armed robbery suspects

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Cambridge Police are actively seeking to identify two suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Central Square Friday night and encourage residents to be vigilant in the area late at night.

Just before 3 a.m., a victim reported being approached by two suspects, who grabbed onto the victim’s yellow Cannondale bicycle and pushed the victim against a wall at a building on 359 Green St.

When the victim resisted, one of the suspects displayed what was believed to be a black handgun.

The suspects then took the bicycle, left Green Street and headed towards Franklin Street.

The suspects are described as: A white or light-skinned male in his 30s, approximately 5′6 or 5′7 with darker dirty blonde hair, wearing jeans, a grey hoody and a bandana or gaiter-style face mask, who is believed to have displayed the handgun; and a black male in his early or mid-30s with facial hair (chin and mustache) with a thin build and wearing a blue or black hoody.

While the Cambridge Police are actively investigating this incident, increased patrols have been deployed to the Central Square area and extra attention will be provided in the late night and early morning hours.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Cambridge Police at 617-349-3300.
