Lawrence police searching for suspects accused of robbing two men Wednesday morning

Police are searching for several suspects accused of robbing two men outside a party early Wednesday morning.

Just after 3 a.m., police were called to an apartment in the 3100 block of Ousdahl Road for a report of a robbery, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

The victims, one man from Lawrence and another from Leavenworth, had been at a party in the apartment when they decided to leave in the early morning hours, McKinley said. The suspects — about six men unknown to the victims — left the party around the same time and approached them in the apartment parking lot.

At least two of the suspects punched the victims while the group demanded their wallets, phones and other valuables, McKinley said. At least two of the suspects had firearms.

After taking the victims’ valuables, the suspects left the parking lot in two vehicles, McKinley said.

The victims followed the suspects in their vehicle but could not call police because they no longer had their cellphones, McKinley said. They then returned to the apartment and called police.

The victims had minor injuries but declined medical attention, McKinley said. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, and so far police have not found any of the suspects.

McKinley could not immediately provide further description of the suspects.
