High Street. Three of the males quickly moved on, but one remained with the victim, grabbed him by the arm and implied a gun. No gun was shown but the suspect demanded the victim's belongings, stole his cell phone and credit cards. The suspect then fled by walking north bound on High Street. The crime was reported to police around 9 a.m. and no injuries were reported.\nSuspect details are limited. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-4545.\nCrimes are never the fault of a victim.",
