Charlottesville Police Department is investigating a reported armed robbery on Friday afternoon near the intersection of Wertland Street and 13th Street NW — adjacent to Wertland Square apartments and only steps away from the Corner. 

The victim told CPD that two white men, both average height, drove a red four-door sedan onto the Wertland Street sidewalk, stopping him from walking. The suspects allegedly brandished a firearm, took the victim’s belongings and fled.

This is a developing story.
