In the first incident, reported at approximately 7:00 p.m. near Crane Street and Dead End, a 31-year-old man was approached by two individuals inside a white vehicle. One suspect displayed a firearm while the other punched and kicked the victim before taking his iPhone and house keys. The suspects fled in the vehicle. The victim declined medical treatment.

A few hours later, at approximately 10:00 p.m., the same 31-year-old victim was reportedly targeted again, this time at his residence near Crane Street and Jackson Avenue. The two suspects allegedly entered through the front door and stole two French Bulldogs and multiple pieces of clothing. No injuries were reported.
