MOULTRIE — Moultrie police are looking for two gunmen who held up a Moultrie resident on Friday. Juan Hernandez Andes was also one of three victims of an attempted robbery three nights later.

The Friday robbery occurred at between 10:15 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. in the 40 block of Regency Village Drive, Moultrie Police Department reports said.

“The gentleman (Andres) was visiting with some friends,” police Inv. David Jones said. “He walked outside to talk on the telephone. He was approached by two black males. Both of them had guns.”

The men robbed Andres of his cellular telephone and an undetermined amount of cash.

“They then took off running,” Jones said.

On Tuesday, police searched the area around the mobile home park after there was another report of two armed men who tried to rob Andres along with Miguel Hernandez and Martin Hernandez.

An initial police report said that there was a robbery attempt, which was reported at 7:18 p.m., at the same address as the Friday holdup.

The victims described their assailants as slim black males wearing dark clothing. They also left running from the scene.

Efforts to locate them were unsuccessful. No additional details were available on Wednesday.

Police ask that anyone with information about the incidents report it to investigators. The business number for the police department is (229) 985-3131.
