Pennsylvania State Police are investigating an armed robbery and an attempted robbery involving two men driving horse-drawn buggies in Mercer County’s Amish country.

Troopers from the Mercer barracks responded to a report of an armed robbery on Number 8 Road in Lackawannock Township on Thursday evening, according to a news release.

A 30-year-old man from Mercer told police that a small black sedan stopped in front of his buggy. A male suspect, described as a white male wearing dark clothing and a medical mask, approached him with a firearm and demanded his wallet. The victim gave the suspect his wallet, and the suspect fled in the sedan.

While at the scene, troopers were contacted about a similar incident on Leesburg Station Road. A second victim, a 22-year-old New Wilmington man, reported that a small black sedan drove alongside his buggy and demanded his wallet. The buggy driver refused to give the suspect his wallet, and the sedan drove away.

The victim told police that the suspect was in the passenger seat, was a white male wearing dark clothing and a medical mask and was holding a firearm. Byler was unable to describe the driver of the sedan.

State police are asking anyone with information about the incidents to contact the Mercer barracks.
