Two people were robbed at gunpoint just minutes apart Thursday night in Woodland, police said.
The first victim, a 46-year-old Woodland resident, called police at 9:45 p.m. to report being robbed by two Latino male juveniles as he walked home from a convenience store in the 1200 block of East Main Street. One of the teens, described as being 16 or 17 years old, had pulled a silver revolver from his waistband before demanding the victim’s property, Woodland police Sgt. Steve Sexton said.
About 15 minutes later, a 22-year-old Woodland man reported being robbed by two Latino males in their 20s while walking toward a convenience store in the first block of Kentucky Avenue, Sexton said. Both suspects appeared to be armed with guns, with one pulling the weapon from his waistband before demanding the victim’s belongings.
Neither victim was injured, Sexton said.
Anyone with information about either of these incidents is asked to contact the Woodland Police Department at 530-661-7800.
