Ohio’s Auburn Township A couple reported that they were stopped by masked gunmen during an armed robbery on U.S. Route 422 late Tuesday night, and authorities are looking into the incident.
Around 10:57 p.m., a lady contacted 911 to say that someone had pulled a gun on her and demanded money while she and her husband were heading west on U.S. 422 close to Munn Road, according to a call log from the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office.
The caller informed dispatchers that the mask-wearing suspects slowed down and forced them to stop when they pulled in front of their gray or silver Toyota RAV4. According to reports, two people exited the suspect car that was thought to be in front of the victims’ car and came up brandishing guns, though the victims were unable to identify the kinds of weapons.
After the suspects left the area, the victims claimed they were told not to look up for five minutes.
The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com have contacted the sheriff’s office to inquire about additional details, such as whether any arrests were made or whether any items were taken. Additionally, a police report was asked for.
After deputies arrived on the scene and spoke with the couple, they were unable to describe the suspect car or the attackers other than the fact that they were armed and wearing masks. The call was traced to a location on U.S. 422 west of Munn Road, according to the sheriff’s office.
Investigations into the incident are still ongoing.
The Geauga County Sheriff’s Office is urged to be contacted by anyone with information.
