ROBBERIES
On Friday, police responded to two robberies. The first one happened around 8:30 p.m. in the area of 40th and St. Paul.
LPD says a 36-year-old man walking in the area when he was approached by two men from behind. One of the men attacked him with an object similar to a pipe. The victim fell, where he was then hit again multiple times while the other man took some of the victims personal belongings.
Both suspects fled the area, while the victim went home, then went to an area hospital where he was treated for minor injuries suffered in the assault. LPD says that’s when they were contacted and took the report.
Nearly three hours later, a security guard outside Round 1 at Gateway Mall called police and reported that he was assaulted and robbed of his badge. The 18-year-old victim told LPD he had approached a group of men around 10:30 p.m. and requested that they put masks on, in correlation with the city’s mask mandate. Not long after, the guard was approached by the same group inside a bathroom and assaulted by the men.
The victim has just minor facial injuries and did not require any medical attention.

LPD says a 51-year-old man was walking in the area when a vehicle pulled up. A man exited the vehicle, walked up to the victim and struck him in the head. He then took some of the victims belongings, got back in the vehicle, and then left the area. The victim did not require medical attention.\
