The attack at Locust Street and Downer Avenue involved a man and woman. Neighbors said the robbers shoved them into the garage and robbed them.\"We heard a lot of commotion. I guess we heard the perpetrators,\" neighbor Lucas Canino said. \"I think they ran between our buildings.\"Canino shares the garage turned crime scene with his neighbors. He got the scoop from police on what the ruckus was -- an armed robbery of a man and woman walking down the street.The same day, another woman was held up at gunpoint, robbed and sexually assaulted.The latest incidents happened in the same east side neighborhood. One was in the 2600 block of East Locust Street. The other was just a few blocks away on North Prospect Avenue.\"It's worrying, right?\" Canino said. \"This area, this has happened a few times here.\"On July 12, a convenience store at Murray Avenue and Thomas was robbed. That same day, a woman was attacked and sexually assaulted at North Murray Avenue and Greenwich Avenue. There was another attack at East Park Place and Summit Avenue.\"Be aware of your surroundings, I mean, I don't think we need to be fearful or hide or anything else,\" neighbor Kim Fowler said.Fowler has lived right by the latest robbery scene for 19 years.\"That's just kind of what you get when you live in the city,\" Fowler said.The police are investigating a possible connection between these attacks because of similarities.Police have not given details on how many people they are looking for."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
