Attempted Robbery Victims Sought in Police Probe

Police are looking for a couple who witnesses say are the victims of a strong-armed robbery attempt Sunday afternoon in the parking lot of the Oxford Valley Mall in Middletown.

"Witnesses reported seeing three male subjects approach a couple in the parking lot of the mall and attempt to pull a cellular telephone from the hands of a male victim," police said. The suspects were unable to get the phone from the man.

According to authorities, the three individuals fled the area in a silver Pontiac Grand Am.
