Three Pennsylvania visitors were robbed at gunpoint early Tuesday by two young men, police said.
A man from St. Mary's, Pa., and two women from Kersey, Pa., met the men at Michigan Avenue and Best Street at 2:25 a.m. when they were to receive a promised "tour of the city," according to police. When the victims showed up there, they were robbed. Central District Police said one of the men put his hand in his shirt as if he had a gun, while the other pulled out a chrome handgun and demanded their purses and money. They also stole cell phones, $40 and a debit card. Officers said they recovered the purses, wallets and personal papers at various locations, but the cell phones and money were not recovered.
