Two robbed for second time outside home, police say

A man and a teen were robbed outside their residence in the 5500 block of Base Line Road on Monday night, the second time they've been held up there in as many months, police said.

The 14- and 49-year-old victims told authorities they stepped outside to smoke a cigarette about 9 p.m. when two men approached and pointed handguns at them, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

The assailants demanded and received money and a cellphone before running toward Base Line Road.

Police searched the area but didn't locate the robbers.

The victims said the gunmen — described as black men 18 to 22 years old who stood 5-foot-7 and weighed about 130 pounds — were the same people who robbed them at the location the morning of Dec. 7.
