AKRON -- Three men with guns robbed a couple who came to see a car for sale on Craigslist Tuesday night.

The couple from Atwater were not hurt.

About 9 p.m. Tuesday, the couple went to the 900 block of West Exchange Street to see a car that was listed on Craigslist.

When the couple arrived, they were met by three men in the driveway.

As the couple walked back towards the garage to see the car, the men pulled out handguns and robbed the couple of $450 in cash.

Then the three men ran off through the back yards. The couple drove to a nearby gas station and called police.

The three men were described as 18 to 20 years old.

One man was 6'01" tall, thin, wearing a tan shirt and black shorts with a bandana covering his face.

A second man was about 5'05" tall, heavy-set, wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt, dark shorts, and a bandana covering his face.

A third man was 5'08" tall, wearing a dark-colored shirt, dark shorts and red shoes.

Anyone with information regarding these men is asked to contact Akron police at (330) 375-2552.
