PAIR BEATS, ROBS BENEFACTOR, 63

A 63-year-old man was beaten and robbed by a man and a woman Wednesday night in Northeast Roanoke, Roanoke police said.

Police gave this account: About 10:35, the man agreed to give the couple a ride to a Northeast Roanoke food store. After leaving the store, they went to a convenience store in the 2500 block of Orange Avenue Northeast. The woman went behind the store, and the 63-year-old man followed. She exposed her breasts and tried to solicit sex from him, but he refused. The couple then beat him and took $400.

The victim did not require medical treatment. The couple left in a large car that had an engine problem. No arrests had been made by late Thursday.
