Christmastime crime

Apparently, there have been several robberies in the St. Mary's Park area over the last week where a gunman has targeted people as they walk down Crescent Street near Agnon.

In one incident the victim told police that an African American man wearing a black knit cap and a black hooded sweatshirt and black jeans allegedly approached him from behind and asked him if he saw a girl. When the victim said he didn't see anyone, the robber pointed the gun at him and started sifting through his pockets.

The robber ran away with $42 and a cell phone, according to police.

These robberies have happened late night, and police say they are watching the area closely while increasing patrols.
