Lincoln Police say a 19-year-old man was robbed just before 9:00 Saturday night as he tried to sell a pair of black Nike Air Jordan 4 shoes valued at $400.  LPD Public Information officer Erika Thomas says it happened near S. Coddington and W. Jean Avenue.

“He told police three men wearing long-sleeved black shirts, black pants and ski masks, approached him and one pointed a handgun at him before demanding the shoes and taking them,” Thomas says.  All three men then left southbound on foot.

The victim was not injured and the investigation is continuing.  Anyone with information is asked to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
