NORTH MANCHESTER - North Manchester trailer courts were the site of two separate incidents Thursday when robbers threatened two men with knives.
At about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, a man told police he was in East Side trailer court when a car with four white males approached him. Two men got out of the car and approached him, displaying a knife and asking for his money.
An undisclosed amount of money was given to the suspects.
The men reportedly were in a rusty red car.
The first suspect is described as being 19 or 20 years old, about 6 feet tall and wearing a stocking cap mask. He may have had blond hair. The second suspect was described at 5-feet 7-inches or taller with light brown hair and no facial hair.
Just a half hour later, a second man reported that two men entered his trailer at Manchester Mobile Estates, Ind. 13N, and demanded money while displaying a knife. The men took an undisclosed amount of cash and left in a small, four-door car.
North Manchester town marshal Dave Young declined to state how much money the suspects got away with and no further physical description was available. There are no suspects at this time.
North Manchester Police Department is investigating this incident. Anyone with information regarding this crime should contact the department at 260-982-8555.
