In one of the incidents, police say two men were robbed at gunpoint in their Baldwin driveway around 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Police say the victims were getting out of their car on Lydia Place when one man was ordered to the ground. The other 18-year-old victim was held at gunpoint and robbed of a watch, necklace and glasses.

News 12 is told the suspects confronted a Madison Avenue homeowner with a crow bar and a handgun. They then demanded that he open a safe.
Those suspects got away with cash and cellphones.
Police say they do not believe the robberies are connected.
