Manassas city police beat 1/29/13

Robbery
The Manassas City Police Department is investigating an attempted robbery, which occurred near the 8300 block of Georgian Court.  Two sixteen year olds reported that they were walking in the area between 4:00PM and 4:30PM Sunday, January 27.  They said they were followed from the pool and playground area off of Devonshire Court by two males.

One suspect allegedly punched the male victim in the face and attempted to take his Jordan athletic shoes.  The victim’s friend threw a drink at the suspects, who dropped the shoe and ran back toward Devonshire Court.  The victim was not seriously injured and refused medical treatment.

He and his friend described the first suspect as a light skinned male with crystal blue eyes, between 16 and 18 years old, wearing a gray jacket, jeans and purple low top shoes.  They described the second suspect as a black male, 16 to 18 years old, wearing a black puffy jacket and blue jeans.
The investigation is ongoing.
