NANTICOKE CITY — Police are seeking information regarding a robbery that took place in the 100 block of Meadowcrest Drive the night of July 13.

According to a police report:

At approximately 11:30 p.m., a man parked his car when returning to his home and was met by two white men in his driveway. The two men, one of which possessed a larger kitchen-type knife, immediately assaulted him, at which time the man received cuts on his leg. Afterward, and during a second short struggle, one of the suspects stole $420 from the man.

After the robbery, both men ran southwest toward the Hanover Section of Nanticoke City.

Both men are described as white and of average height and build. One of the men had medium-length brown hair. Both men were wearing shorts and one was wearing a sweatshirt. The knife was described as a silver kitchen-type knife, about seven to 10 inches long.

During the course of the investigation, detectives came to the conclusion the robbery was not a random act.
