(Greene Township, Pa.) Pennsylvania State Police in Beaver are reporting that 24-year-old Brain Laskowski of Conneautville was robbed at gunpoint by two men in the 400 block of Upper Service Road, Greene Township, Beaver County.

The incident occurred on Friday at 9:15 PM when Troopers say the victim set up the purchase of an ATV with one of the suspects. The victim and two friends arrived at the location and were told that the ATV was being serviced and would be ready in a few minutes. In the meantime, one of the suspects asked for the money, and when the victim went to retrieve it from his vehicle, the suspect put a gun to his head and took a PNC bank envelope with $4,300 in it.

The second suspect slashed the driver’s side rear tire of the victim’s vehicle and the two drove off. The suspects were driving a black 2006 Dodge Journey with silver chrome and fled the area on Upper Service Road towards Route 18.
