Two teenagers were robbed at gunpoint late Wednesday afternoon in west Lincoln, police say.
Assistant Chief Jason Stille said the two men, 18 and 19, were inside a vehicle in the 1100 block of West C Street at about 5:50 p.m. when a light-colored vehicle pulled up alongside them and one of the three people inside pointed a silver handgun at them.Â
The thieves got away with an AR-15 rifle valued at about $500, which the victims had been shooting earlier in the day.
Stille said they don't currently have suspects, but the investigation is ongoing.
