Another robbery was reported Saturday about 7 p.m. at Van Noord Avenue and Sarah Street in Van Nuys. This is the way police say it went down. The victim was walking north on Van Noord approaching Sarah when two, male Hispanics approached him from behind. One of them pointed a gun at the Victim’s head demanded him move closer to the house where it was dark, then asked him what do you have. The victim, in fear, complied and told them what property he had. Then a second suspect picked the victim’s pockets and took his property before both suspects ran away.

On Sunday, just before 1 a.m., a guy was shot in the chest in the 6700 block of Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys.
