It was an unpleasant Saturday night on the Divisadero corridor, as a duo of armed robberies—possibly related—went down in quick succession. 

According to police, the first robbery occurred at 11:45pm, when a 37-year-old man was approached from behind at Page and Broderick streets as he was walking home. One male suspect pointed a handgun in his direction, while the second took his "electronic device." They then fled on foot on Broderick, turning onto Page.

Just 15 minutes later, at 12:01am, a 20-year-old man was also robbed just two blocks away, at Page and Scott streets. A male suspect approached him with a handgun and demanded his belongings. The man handed over his cell phone and wallet (containing cash), and the suspect fled on foot. 

Arrests were not made in either case, and police haven't confirmed whether or not the two robberies are related. We'll update this post if we learn more.
