Man robbed at gunpoint near 17th & Vine
A 19-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint early Thursday.
The victim was walking in the area of 17th and Vine streets around 3:20 a.m. when he was approached by two men, said Lincoln Police Capt. Jim Thoms.
One of the men pointed a sliver handgun to the victim’s midsection and demanded money, Thoms said.
The victim told the men he didn’t have any money, Thoms said, but the man with the gun raised the gun to the victim’s chest level and said, “If you don’t give me any money I’ll shoot you.”
The victim gave the two men his wallet, which had about $100 cash, and his watch, which was valued at about $35, Thoms said.
The suspects ran from the scene and a green four-door sedan picked them up a short distance away, Thoms said.
