Robbery Suspects use Bicycles to Get Away

Clarksville Police DepartmentClarksville, TN – On August 23rd, 2011, around 3:30am, a man called Police and said he was robbed by two teenagers. The 27 year old man was in the 700 block of Central Avenue when he was approached by two male juveniles on bicycles, one was riding a orange bike and the other was riding a yellow one.

They approached the 27 year old and asked did he smoke? It went downhill from there. One of the juveniles punched him on the side of his face which knocked the victim to the ground. The other one then displayed a handgun. They demanded the victim empty his pockets.

One juvenile pointed a gun at the victim’s head while the other punched him again and went through his pockets taking money and a cell phone. A nearby resident heard the disturbance, came outside, and started shouting that she was going to call the Police. One of the juveniles fled on the orange bicycle while the other ran away.

The victim took one of the suspect’s yellow bicycle and headed back to his house. He saw an officer on the way and flagged him down for assistance. When officers arrived, the suspects already left the area.

Police have one of the bicycles that one of the robbery suspects was riding. We are looking for assistance identifying the rider and/or owner of the bicycle who may be a robbery suspect.
