Man robbed of wallet in Pasadena
PASADENA -- A man was robbed of his wallet late Wednesday by two men armed with a handgun and a knife, police said.
A man was walking to an apartment building in the 1300 block of Summit Avenue from his car and talking on a cell phone about 10:30 p.m. when he was approached by the robbers, Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said.
Brandishing a knife and a gun, the robbers demanded the man's property, the lieutenant said.
The robbers fled with the man's wallet and about $250 in cash, Russ said.
Both robbers were described as black men in their 20s, he said. One was about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 180 pounds, and wore black clothes and a black bandana over his face.
The other robber was about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, wearing a black baseball cap, a black t-shirt and blue jeans, Russ said.
