Armed Robber on a Bike

via the RTD:

Two Robberies there reported separately in Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s Daily Crime reports actually both occurred Monday evening about 9:30 pm.  Both robberies took place blocks apart “when a black male in dark clothing rode up on a bicycle and brandished a silver-chrome handgun”.  Both victims were made to lie on the ground while  the robber escaped.

Kiniry said one robbery occurred in an alley in the 200 block of West Marshall Street, where a victim told police he was walking to his apartment when a black male in dark clothing rode up on a bicycle and brandished a silver-chrome handgun. The victim was forced to take off his shoes and lay face-down on the ground, and the robber took his belongings and rode off.

Kiniry said another man told police Tuesday evening that he had been robbed Monday about 9:30 p.m. in the 200 block of North Monroe Street, also by an armed black male in dark clothing who was riding a bicycle. That victim also was forced to lay face-down, but the robber did not make him take off his shoes
