Police are still searching for the perpetrators of an armed robbery Sunday night on West Doty Street after a K-9 search of the surrounding area proved unsuccessful, according to an incident report.
Madison Police Department Sgt. Jason Ostrenga said in the report a 22-year-old male was walking into an apartment building on the 500 block of West Doty Street at approximately 6:53 p.m. when two black men in their early twenties pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded his belongings.
The suspects ran from the scene after the victim handed over his backpack and iPhone, according to the report. The victim was not injured in the incident.
The report describes the suspects as approximately 5-foot-10 inches, one wearing a green hooded sweatshirt, the other wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. Ostrenga said the MPD enlisted the help of the K-9 unit, but was ultimately unsuccessful in locating the suspects, who were last seen heading east on West Doty Street.
