Police said the victim was returning to his vehicle after making a cash withdrawal from an ATM when two suspects approached him and demanded the cash and other personal property, including his cell phone.
"One of the suspects pointed a black semi-automatic rifle at the victim and said, `Give me the money. Give me the cash.' Fearing for his safety, the victim threw the money on the ground in front of them," police said in a statement.
The suspects fled the scene a short time later after the victim refused to get into his vehicle and drive to a different location to get more money for the suspects and turn over his cell phone, police said.
A total of $120 was stolen from the victim, according to police.
