Surveillance captures armed robbery suspects in Eunice

EUNICE, La. (KLFY) -- Police are searching for suspects in an armed robbery where money and other items were stolen in Eunice.
According to authorities, Saturday around 2:30 a.m. the Eunice Police Department responded to a call about a man running with a firearm on South Second Street. Police said when they first arrived, they did not see anyone armed or running with a firearm, but after patrolling the area, they were approached by a man who said he had been robbed at gunpoint by two men.
Officials were able to obtain surveillance video from a local business that showed two men, one wearing a white shirt, pants, black shoes and holding what appeared to be a firearm--and the other wearing a black jacket, white shirt, pants and black shoes with white laces—digging into the pockets of the victim.
The men took the victim's graduation money (approximately $800 in cash), cell phone and driver’s license before pointing the firearm at his chest but not firing. The two individuals then ran from the area, heading north. There were no reported injuries.
The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Eunice Police Department or St. Landry Crime Stoppers.
