Tie-up 

Two masked men entered a cellular telephone store on the 3300 block of Adeline Street at 4:13 p.m. Wednesday, flashed guns at the lone clerk and tied him up before taking his wallet, police said. Anyone who may have seen the two men flee the store is asked to call the Robbery Detail at 981-5742. 

 

Drug Bust 

After numerous community complaints, police searched a home on the 1800 block of Prince Street Wednesday afternoon, finding an ounce of crack-cocaine and a handgun. Five people found inside the house were arrested on charges ranging from possession of cocaine for sale to weapons violations. 

 

Armed Robbery 

Two people were robbed at gunpoint early Tuesday morning at the corner of Channing Way and Curtis Street, police said. The two robbers stole a backpack and drove off in a white minivan.
