Youngstown police investigating 2 armed robberies


YOUNGSTOWN — Two people reported to police they were robbed at gunpoint in different parts of town Friday.

A 20-year-old city man said one of two men he met behind an alley on McGuffey Road on the East Side about 7:50 p.m. put a gun in his face, made him strip and took his wallet, jewelry and phone.

About 11 p.m. on the South Side, a 42-year-old Austintown woman said she was in a South Avenue parking lot when two men came up to her car, pointed a gun at her and demanded money.

Reports said the men got $130, then ran away toward East Lucius Avenue.
