Harrisonburg Police are looking for your help in catching one of two men they say robbed a woman over the weekend.

They say the two men approached a woman they had recently met and took her cell phone at gun point. The incident happened around 3 a.m. Saturday.

"Situations like this can go from an incident where nobody gets hurt to serious, even death," says Harrisonburg Police Lt. Kurt Boshart. "When we have somebody who's willing to pull out a gun over a cell phone, that concerns us."

They have already arrested the man they say was with Patty, Al-Raheem Jackson of Elkton.

Jackson has been charged with strong armed robbery and possession of marijuana. Patty will face charges of armed robbery, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and brandishing a firearm.

If you have any information you believe police will find useful, call the Harrisonburg Police Department at (540) 434-4436.
