Bethlehem police were investigating an armed robbery Tuesday night, according to emergency radio broadcasts.

A broadcast about 8:45 p.m. asked surrounding police departments to be on the lookout for two assailants, described as wearing white and gray hooded sweatshirts.



A handgun was shown during the robbery in the 2500 block of North Court, a residential street off North Boulevard just east of Spring Garden Elementary School, the broadcasts indicated.



The pair got into a white hatchback with after-market rims and possibly tinted windows, according to the broadcasts; the vehicle was last seen on Butztown Road.



An officer at the city police department's house sergeant's desk said he could provide no information.

The Bethlehem police dispatch non-emergency number is 610-865-7187; outside the city, the Northampton County 911 dispatch non-emergency number is 610-759-2200.
