People in Harrisburg are on edge after four teens attempted to rob at least three people Thursday night.

The roving group put a scare into potential victims, but didn't end up getting away with anything.

People living on Second Street in Harrisburg told us that they're worried that crime may be moving into their neighborhood.

Thursday night after 10 p.m., four teens confronted a man walking his dog on the 2700 block of Second Street.

One of the teens pointed a gun at him and told him to give them everything he had. The victim told the teens that he didn't have anything and started to walk away, the teens then started throwing rocks at him.

When he got home he called police who said there was another attempted robbery nearby. This one actually took place five minutes later when the four teens approached a woman walking home.

They tried to rob her, but she thought it was a joke and started yelling at the teens.

The teen with the gun apologized, saying that it was just a BB gun, and then the group ran away.

The final incident happened when officers responded to reports of a break in a block away on Green Street. There a man told police that four teens tried to break in to his kitchen window, but after yelling at the teens they ran off.

The teens are described as black male teens. The one with the gun is about 6 feet tall, wearing a bandana to cover his face.

While no one was actually robbed or injured during these incidents, police are still warning residents to keep their eyes open for suspicious activity.
