Two unidentified suspects robbed three people at gunpoint Wednesday morning in a Greenwood neighborhood, police said.

Police were called about 2 a.m. to a gas station on Sheek Road. The victims said they were in a gazebo off Central Park Boulevard, in the Central Park neighborhood, when two men approached them, according to a Greenwood Police Department report.

The victims said the suspects had at least one gun, but did not agree on whether they both had guns, according to the report.

The men demanded the victims hand over their valuable items, including a gaming system, a phone and a silver chain. The group complied and ran off. The stolen items are worth about $800, the report said.

The victims told police they were in the gazebo because their car broke down on their way to Shelbyville. While waiting for a ride, they walked to the gazebo from the nearby gas station where they parked the car, according to the report.

Both suspects were wearing masks, and one was wearing an ankle monitor, the report said.

Police are investigating the crime and have not arrested anyone in connection with it.
