Two men facing warrants for their arrests remain at large following the attempted robbery of two 16-year-old males over the weekend.

Lamont Haskins, 49, and Michael Hart, 50, remain at large following their attempted robbery outside Nader’s Grocery on Caroline Street on Saturday, June 13, as confirmed by Natalia Bledsoe, spokeswoman for the Fredericksburg Police Department.

Bledsoe cited the lack of a fixed address as a reason Haskins and Hart been difficult to track down.

A Fredericksburg Police crime report states the two 16-year-olds went to Nader’s to buy drinks, and after making their purchases were followed outside by two adult males with whom the teenagers were unfamiliar.

Upon exiting Nader’s, one of the men forced the boys against a wall and demanded they empty their pockets. The boys possessed nothing of value and were let go by robbers.

The investigating officer was able to identify the subjects, and Haskins now faces two counts of robbery while Hart faces two counts of attempted robbery.
