One of the robberies occurred from the 26400 block of Carl Boyer Dr. on Tuesday, 12/11/12 between 11:45 a.m. – 1245 p.m. The victim was approached by two males in the parking lot of the location who asked for directions. The males then took her cell phone and money from her purse. Not pleased with the amount of money they stole from the victim, the suspects forced her into their vehicle where they drove her to a nearby bank and had her withdraw more money.
