Youngstown robberies involve vehicles taken, one at gunpoint
TweetYOUNGSTOWN — Police are looking for multiple men in two separate robberies where vehicles were taken, one at gunpoint.
A 24-year-old Warren man told police he and a friend were robbed Wednesday while attempting to pick up a television set on the city’s West Side.
According to police, the two men drove from Warren to a home in the 2200 block of Oakwood Drive at 7 p.m. One of the men went inside the house and the other waited in the car.
After a short time, a large man came to the car and told the waiting friend he was needed inside to help with the television.
The man told police a gun was placed to his head and he was shoved to the floor as he tried to enter the house. The other man was already being held to the floor in only his underpants being guarded by two men.
Reports say both men were punched and kicked in the face and upper body. The thieves took money and cell phones from the men before threatening to shoot them if they moved off the floor.
When the men looked outside moments after the thieves had run out of the house, they noticed the Ford Explorer belonging to one of the men had been taken.
Police also received a call at about noon Wednesday concerning a 16-year-old city boy who had been carjacked on the city’s South Side.
The teen boy told police he was at a gas station in the 3200 block of Market Street preparing to pump gas into his mother’s red Pontiac Sunfire when a man asked him if he would like to buy a stereo. The boy agree to buy the stereo, and the two drove off together in the Pontiac.
The juvenile told police the man forced him out of the car in the area of Ravenwood Avenue and Erie Street, then took the car. The boy walked home and called police.
Police found the car a short time later in the city with the stereo missing.

Abrahms Battle Tank vs. South Side
"the appeasement strategy"
Wannabe Gangsters....one glorious day there going to come across someone that won't play there game and there would be one or two or more less animals off the street. The day will come.
Let's tear down more historic homes, that will fix everything. AH you hit it right on the head. A militia is what is needed to bring this "culture" under control.
THIS is why you need the death penalty and it needs to be applied early and often, as mayor Daley would have said. electing a wimpster as mayor doesn't help either.
logistics ...do they drive the Abrahms down 1-80 via the New York ramp or do they go amphibious carrier amass in Boardman and make the assault rolling down hill?
Soon Utopia and 2010 will be upon us . The new warehouses for government cocaine are still awaiting funding . An entourage has not yet been put together for a trip to Mexico's drug cartels and make deals purchasing in bulk .
logistic issues
My concern about the freeway system as first choice, too many '76 Towncars clogging the intake.
We could amass in the hills of Mill Creek as this would be a good place to start shelling them.
Land up in Boardman regroup at leisure in the Jays Hot Dog parking lot and roll down Market.
