Father, son robbed

WARREN

A father and son from Warren told police they were robbed at gunpoint in front of a house on Comstock Avenue Northeast about 10:30 p.m. Friday.

The son, 28, said he was sitting in the tavern Paradise Inn, 2261 North Park Ave., when a man asked him if he wanted to buy a plasma television.

He and his father, 44, followed the man in a car driven by a second man to a house on Comstock Avenue. There, the driver of the car asked the father who he was and pulled out a gun and put it next to the father’s head and neck and robbed the father and son of cash, necklaces and a cell phone.
