Two reported robberies took place in the early morning hours Monday, according to a Live Oak Police Department press release.
At approximately 1 a.m., LOPD officers responded to a robbery call at the Royal Inn Motel, 966 N. Ohio.
According to the victim, he was sleeping in a friend’s vehicle at the motel when the driver's door was suddenly pulled opened and two large individuals pulled him from the vehicle and threw him on the ground, according to information given to officers.
The unidentified thieves wrestled the victim's wallet containing more than $300 from his pocket, the victim told police. The suspects then reportedly fled south from the motel onto Hamilton Avenue in a white vehicle. The victim stated that he was not hurt and required no medical attention.
In a second incident, about 45 minutes later, officers responded to a report of a home invasion robbery at 417 Horne Avenue SW. Three male and two female victims told officers that three suspects kicked open the back door to the residence, and once inside, displayed handguns before gaining control of the victims. The victims reported several items stolen including cell phones, more than $300 in cash, and wallets belonging to the victims, according to police. The suspects, who were described as three black males in their early 20s, all wearing black hoodies and blue jeans (or dark pants), fled on foot, officers reported.
It was not clear whether to two incidents were related. Police are asking that if anyone has any information regarding the two events, they are encouraged to contact LOPD at 386-362-7463 or call Suwannee County Crime Stoppers at 386-208-8477.
