Robbery reported
WARREN
A 24-year-old city man reported being robbed at gunpoint of cash and his pickup truck being shot at by a man he met with about 6 p.m. Sunday at Fourth Street and Hayes Avenue Southwest.
The victim said he arrived to help someone move furniture for money. As he waited at the intersection, the man he intended to meet opened the passenger door, pointed a handgun at him and robbed him. The victim said he fled from the suspect, and the suspect fired a shot at the passenger door.
Break-ins probed
BOARDMAN
Township police are investigating a breaking-and- entering case in which the same business was hit three times in one week.
The owner of Ynot Wireless, 703 E. Midlothian Blvd., reported to police that he discovered a broken window at the business Dec. 29 and noticed that five phones valued at $895 were missing.
Then on Saturday a witness told police he saw three people smash out a window, enter the business and then flee.
Police responded to a third incident Sunday, when they observed that someone apparently had smashed out the front door’s glass and that $120 worth of merchandise was missing.
Police found handprints and dried blood at the scene. The business does not have video surveillance. The stolen phones were activated to enable GPS tracking.
Eatery to reopen
GIRARD
Girard Wok, 44 W. Liberty St., will reopen today after it met all the requirements of the city fire department for cleaning grease from duct work and hood fans and updating its fire-suppression system.
The fire department inspected the restaurant Monday, said Capt. Timothy O’Brien.
Fire safety was especially important at that location not only for the customers and employees at the restaurant but also for the people living in the apartments above the restaurant, O’Brien said.
