Two Men Reportedly Robbed At Gunpoint In Worcester While Playing 'Pokemon Go'

WORCESTER (CBS) -- Two men were reportedly robbed at gunpoint Wednesday evening while playing 'Pokemon Go' in Worcester.

According to police, the two men were sitting in a car parked on Stockton and Cornhill Streets around 7:25p.m playing the game when two men approached them.

One of the victims, a 25-year-old man, told police he saw a silver/grey sedan drive past the pair several times before it parked a short distance away. Police say one of the suspects approached the passenger side of the car, reached in and pulled the keys out of the ignition. The other suspect allegedly approached the driver's side and pointed a gun at the driver and demanded his "stuff."

Police say the 25-year-old man handed over a gun and cash before he was pistol-whipped by the suspect. The second man in the car told police his wallet and car keys were also stolen.

The suspects were described as two black males. One of the men is approximately 5'8" tall, in his mid 20's, clean shaven and wearing a grey shirt. The second suspect is approximately 5'6" tall and wearing a black shirt.
