Man Reportedly Robbed at Gunpoint

A man reported on Sept. 10 that three men had robbed him at gunpoint on Sept. 6 behind the Dulles Park Shopping Center in the 1000 block of Elden Street. The man said the three men stole his wallet, which contained an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police spokesman Lt. Jeff Coulter. Two of the men were described as white and the other man was said to be black, about 30 years old, about 6 feet tall, and wearing a blue button-down shirt and blue jeans, Coulter said. The person said he waited four days to report the case because he did not know the police department's phone number, according to Coulter. Coulter said a detective from the criminal investigations unit would be following up on the incident.
