Two men both armed with guns hopped out of a dark-colored BMW sedan as the family walked along Maple Street near Dana Place shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday, May 21, Police Chief Thomas Greeley said.
The vehicle, pictured in the inset photo above, had tinted windows and no license plates, the chief said.
"The victim handed over several items and the actors fled in the vehicle," he said.
Detectives are exploring whether it was a crime of opportunity -- victims with their children aren't likely to resist -- or the robbers had targeted him.
Meanwhile, "out of an abundance of caution, we will have an increased police presence in the area," the chief said.
Authorities hope someone might have seen or knows something -- or has home security video -- that helps identify the BMW and/or the robbers.
