Suspects sought in Boardman robbery


BOARDMAN — Township police are searching for two men who robbed a woman at gunpoint after offering to shovel her driveway.

Police responded to a call at 10:42 a.m. today that a 55-year-old woman was forced to the ground and had her wrists restrained as two men entered her home.

According to police, two men wearing ski masks knocked on the front door of a Ranier Trail home asking the homeowner if she wanted her driveway shoveled. After she declined, the men forcibly entered the home, brandishing a black handgun.

The men stole the victim’s car keys and cell phone and then left in her vehicle, police said.
