Responding to a reported robbery in the area of North New and Goepp streets around 8:40 p.m. Aug. 9, police made contact with the victim, a 19-year-old mam.

The victim informed police that both men displayed firearms in their waistbands and demanded the victim turn over his sneakers, a wallet, a backpack, and a cellphone. They fled on foot from the area with the victim’s belongings.

During the investigation officers located a video posted on Instagram which depicted the robbery. The video appeared to have been recorded by one of the suspects and posted to his personal account.
