Pittsburgh police are seeking two men for an alleged armed robbery that happened Monday night in Oakland.
According to a crime alert from Pitt police issued Tuesday morning, officers were called to the 300 block of Oakland Avenue to assist city police with a report of an armed robbery at about 11:40 p.m., Monday. There, a male victim told police that two men walking from Bates Street approached him and robbed him at gunpoint.
