An investigation continues into an alleged armed robbery that occurred over the weekend.

According to a Galesburg police report, officers responded to the 500-block of Matthews Street on Sunday evening for a reported armed robbery.

Police say a 13-year-old male juvenile was the alleged victim. They noted in the police report he was visibly shaken.

Through interviews with the juvenile, police learned that earlier in the afternoon, possibly around 4:55, the teen had been picked up in a vehicle and driven to a North Street residence.

Eventually, the teen was instructed to get back into the vehicle and was driven around some more before a black handgun was pulled on him.

The juvenile was forced to hand over his cellphone after logging out of all of his applications.

The report states he was then told to get out of the vehicle in the area of East Losey and North Cherry streets.

As of 9:30 Monday morning, no arrests have been made.
