District 4 is investigating a robbery that occurred on April 15, 2025 in the 1700 block of Washington Avenue.
A 19-year-old male told officers he was meeting a 35-year-old male suspect at the location around 5:15 p.m. to sell the suspect a watch. The teen said he gave the suspect the watch and discovered the suspect gave him fake cash in exchange.
