Shreveport Police investigate armed robbery
Shreveport Police detectives are investigating an armed robbery that occurred in southeast Shreveport early this morning.
At 7:00 a. m. this morning, patrol officers responded to an armed robbery call at The Elks Club and Lodge, located at 310 E. Preston. Upon arrival at that location, officers discovered 3 employees at the business who advised that the club had been robbed.
Detectives have learned that as the employees were arriving for work, they were approached by 2 black male suspects, both of whom were armed with handguns. The suspects then forced the employees to divulge the location of the money in club. The suspects stole an undisclosed amount of money and proceeded to flee from the area. The suspects have been described as black males, one of whom is of medium height and build, the other slightly taller. None of the employees were injured during the robbery.
Anyone having any information regarding this robbery is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 673-7000, or Shreveport Police Detectives at 673-6955.
