Police are trying to get to the bottom of two weekend armed robberies near Savannah’s Forsyth Park.
Just before 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, three males were sitting on a bench in the park when they asked a victim for the time. As the male and female victims passed by, the suspects followed them, brandished a firearm and demanded money, said Sonny Cohrs, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman. The victims complied.
Detectives describe the suspects as three black males, possibly teenagers, with one wearing a red shirt and red hat.
Then, about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, three armed males, all wearing dark clothing and hooded sweatshirts, asked a male and female victim for the time before robbing them at gunpoint, Cohrs said.
The robberies remain under investigation. Anyone with information that can help police should call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637) using the keyword CSTOP2020. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
