Officers said they responded to Church Street at about 2:30 p.m. for a reported robbery.

A woman told police that she was approached by two men she didn't know on Chapel Street. They placed their hands in their pockets, indicating that they had guns, according to authorities.

The thieves then escorted the woman to a nearby ATM machine and made her withdraw $1,000, police said. They also allegedly told her to give them $100 in her pocket.
