POLKTON TWP., MI (WHTC) – The search is on for three men who held up two others at a residence west of Coopersville late on Wednesday night.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Detective Captain Mark Bennett, a 25-year-old man answered a knock on the door of a house in the 18 thousand block of 80th Avenue around 11:15 PM to find three black men in dark clothing standing outside, asking for directions to the nearest gas station. “One of the suspects then proceeded to rob the victim of his wallet, and also taking the wallet of another male victim who was inside of the residence at the time,” Bennett explained. “During the process of this crime, one of the suspects produced a handgun and shot the 25-year-old victim in the leg.”
The wounded man was taken to Spectrum-Butterworth Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, while the other man was shaken but unhurt. No other details about the suspects were disclosed.
Anyone with any information on the matter is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Silent Observer.
