From Decatur Police…

On 6-6-14 at approximately 9:00 pm, Decatur Police responded to a pedestrian robbery that occurred in the 300 block of Church Street. The victim reported she was walking on the sidewalk when two males ran up behind her and one male snatched her cell phone from her hand. Both males then fled on foot through a nearby parking lot and were pursued by a witness. The witness chased the two males who ran to a parking lot in the 100 block of East Trinity Place. The witness engaged in a brief struggle with one of the suspects trying to retrieve the stolen cell phone when three additional males exited a waiting vehicle and joined the fight. One of the additional males held a screwdriver to the witness’ back and told him to let go of the suspect who had the phone. The witness complied and the two robbery suspects and three additional males entered the vehicle which was last seen driving south on East Trinity Place. Neither the victim nor witness were injured.
