Spruce Street resident robbed

A Spruce Street man was robbed at gunpoint Friday while walking home from a store.

Police said the victim was stopped shortly after 10 p.m. by a male who asked him what he had. The male then pulled out a hand gun and pointed it at the victim’s face, demanding that the victim give him whatever he had.

The victim handed over $101, and the gunman fled in the direction of Pine Street.

The victim’s sister, who had witnessed the robbery from a distance, believed she knew the gunman. However, when she and her brother were given the opportunity to view mug shots, they were unable to make a positive identification.
