Willie D. Lewis, 21, of Cleveland is charged with armed robbery

LAKEWOOD, Ohio – Lakewood police arrested two adults and two teenage boys after back-to-back robberies early Saturday.

A Lakewood couple told officers two men – one of whom was wearing a mask – pulled a gun as they were walking along Mathews Avenue and took a purse and their cell phones. Police found two men who fit the description the couple provided behind a nearby building and they were arrested.

Anthony Bryant and Willie D. Lewis, both 21-year-old Cleveland residents, are charged with aggravated robbery.

The pistol turned out to be a CO2 pistol, the report said.

"But at 1 o'clock in the morning it looked real enough," said Capt. Ed Hassing.

Police received a separate report that a man was being assaulted in the street on Madison Avenue at 2:12 a.m. Saturday, according to a report.

The victim said two teenagers beat him, took unspecified belongings and ran. Officers found two teenage boys who fit the description the victim provided on Madison Avenue a short time later and arrested them on suspicion of robbery.
