WINTHROP, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for two men accused of robbing another man at gunpoint in Withrop early Saturday morning, officials said.
Officers responding to a reported armed robbery on Atlantic Street about 3:30 a.m. learned that a 23-year-old man who had just been dropped off by a friend was approached by two men in a vehicle who got out, showed a gun, and demanded all of his cash, according to Winthrop police.
The suspects, who were described as wearing dark clothing and baseball hats, then got back into their vehicle, which was operated by another male, and fled the scene.
The victim, who did not want to be identified, said the robbers took all he had.
