Tyrone police investigators are working to locate two men who attempted the strong-arm robbery of a homeowner in the Southampton subdivision on May 1.

Department spokesman Phillip Nelson said the female homeowner arrived home from work after 11 p.m. on May 1 and was met by two black males who came out of the bushes near her house. Nelson said the men were wearing dark clothing.

Nelson said the men tried to pat the woman down but were unable to steal anything from her because she was only carrying her cell phone.

The men subsequently fled on foot, Nelson said.

Nelson said it is possible that the incident is related to a robbery several months ago at the convenience store where the woman works because some of her information was thought to have been stolen at the time.

Anyone with information pertaining to this incident is asked to contact the Tyrone Police Department at 770-487-4732.
