Two men were arrested on Saturday night after threatening a teen with an airsoft gun and stealing her car, police said.
Capt. Danny Reitan said Travion J. Tiller and Mantey D. Walker of Omaha, both 18, were near 25th and O streets when they asked a 16-year-old girl for a ride to a friend's home as she was pumping gas into her car.
The girl allowed the men into her Buick, and they directed her toward an area south of downtown, Reitan said.
At some point, the man who sat in the backseat threatened her with the gun to her head. Police later determined it was modeled after an AK-47, said Capt. Bob Farber.Â
The men stole the girl's car, along with items inside valued at $800, including her cellphone, according to an incident report.
Farber said the girl called 911 around 11:30 p.m., just 10 minutes after the robbery occurred.
