Topeka police were investigating Friday after three people reported they were robbed by three men wearing masks and armed with handguns.
Lt. Ron Gish said in a news release officers responded just before noon to S.E. 23rd and Michigan Avenue. The victims — a 67-year-old Tecumseh man, a 57-year-old Tecumseh woman and a 22-year-old Rossville man — told police they were working in the area when three black men wearing masks approached them.
All three assailants fired their handguns into the air and yelled at the victims to get on the ground, the victims told police. The assailants then reportedly took items from the victims’ pockets and searched their vehicles, Gish said.
The victims weren’t injured. The assailants were last seen leaving the area on foot toward the south, Gish said.
Anyone who may have information may contact Topeka police at 368-9200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 234-0007 or www.topekacrimestoppers.org.
