The Culver City Police Department is currently investigating an armed robbery that took place in the early hours of last Saturday on Midway Avenue. According to a press release issued by Chief of Police Jason Sims, two men accosted a victim, who had been standing in a parking lot with a friend around 3:00 am. One of the assailants brandished a semi-automatic handgun at the victim's chest while the other assailant struck the victim from behind.
