Wilkes-Barre, PA — Police are investigating a robbery that unfolded early Thursday morning in a South Main Street business restroom, where a man was threatened with a broomstick and robbed of $70.
The incident occurred around 3:25 a.m. on May 1, when Wilkes-Barre City Police responded to a call from a 55-year-old male victim who said two suspects — a Black male and a Black female — followed him into the restroom and demanded money.
One of the suspects reportedly used a broomstick to threaten the victim, who complied by handing over the cash.
After receiving the cash, both suspects left the scene in a white Kia sedan and have not yet been located. Their identities remain unknown, and no surveillance footage or suspect descriptions have been released.
The incident occurred inside a business restroom, though police did not name the establishment.
The Wilkes-Barre City Police Department confirmed the investigation is ongoing. Officers continue to gather evidence and seek leads in an effort to identify and apprehend the suspects involved.
