Police are searching for two men, believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, who robbed two 17-year-olds at gunpoint in West Hempstead Tuesday.

No one was injured.

The armed robbery occurred near the intersection of Hempstead Avenue near Roosevelt Boulevard at 12:15 a.m.

Nassau County police said the teens were walking along Hempstead Avenue when the two men approached them and one displayed a silver revolver. The robbers demanded the victims hand over their wallets and cell phones, then fled east onto Locust Avenue, according to police.
