Two males, reported to be between the ages of 17 and 21, produced handguns, and demanded the victims' property. The suspects exited the vehicle to commit the robbery, then returned to the car and fled the area along with their driver. No injuries were reported.\nThe vehicle is described as a black Honda Accord, possibly from 2014 or 2015, with the passenger side headlight burned out. It was last seen headed southbound on Indianola as the suspects fled the area. 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.",
