A Maplewood resident walking near Orchard Road and Parker Avenue on Sunday at around 1 a.m. was allegedly robbed by two men who pointed a gun at him, said Sgt. Christopher Black.
The 33-year-old man was walking when he was approached by two men wearing partial masks, who pointed a long barreled gun at him and demanded his belongings, said Black. The two took the man’s phone, drivers license and passport before running away, said Black. The man was not injured.
