Boca Raton, FL – Detectives from the Boca Raton Police Services Department are investigating a strong-arm robbery that occurred just before 7:00 pm on Thursday October 10th. The victim said he was taking a routine walk heading East on the North side of Butts Road, when he saw two men hanging around an office building at 2200 Butts Road. The victim continued walking and noticed that the two men were walking parallel to him on the opposite side of the road.
A short time later, the two men crossed the street and approached him. One man, who appeared to be talking on his cell phone, asked the victim if he knew what road they were on. The victim told him Military Trail and continued walking. That’s when the victim felt a hand around his neck pulling on his necklace. The necklace broke and fell into the victim’s shirt, which caused the two suspects to turn and run. The victim added that both suspects ran in a southwest direction toward NW 21st Avenue.
Anyone with any information about this case is asked to call Detective Tim Kurdys at 561-338-1377
