Stranded Motorist Robbed on Raytown Street

Early this morning (08/24/2011), around 12:20a.m., a 26 year-old Kansas City man was sitting in his truck that had broken down in the 9100 block of E. 85th Street. He was attempting to call for help on his cell phone when he looked up and noticed two men pointing guns at him. The victim surrendered his keys, cell phone and wallet to them. The two ran off, leaving the man unhurt. An Officer in the area was told by an uninvolved person that two suspicious men were seen running from the area of 85th and Arlington. Raytown Police captured the suspects in the nearby neighborhoods. Later in the morning, Raytown Officers were searching the area of 85th Street and Lane for a gun used in the robbery. A neighbor found a gun in the backyard of a house in the 9900 block of E. 85th Terrace. Raytown Police believe this gun may have been used in the robbery. The gun was collected and charges are pending.
