PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh police said three people are under arrest after a man said he was robbed and beaten at gunpoint while smoking crack.

According to investigators, a 26-year-old man from Blairsville, called police to the Exxon Gas Station in the 6600 block of Frankstown Avenue early Tuesday morning to report he'd been robbed at a home on Forrest Way.

Police said the man told them he had come to Homewood to purchase marijuana and crack cocaine.

The victim met an unknown male in Homewood who took him to a residence where two other men were waiting. Inside, the victim said he saw marijuana, a brick of heroin and crack cocaine on a table.

The group began to drink and smoke marijuana and crack cocaine. That's when the victim said the conversation turned to guns and each of the men produced a weapon.

The victim told officers he was threatened and assaulted by the men with the guns.

After the victim called police, Pittsburgh SWAT searched two homes in the 7000 block of Forrest Way. Three people caught during the sweep were identified as the suspects in the assault by the victim.

Along with two guns, officers also found marijuana and crack cocaine and $1,500.

Timothy Terrance Bazmore, 18, Julian Edward Larkins, 18, and Clifford Anthony Wilson, 19, are all facing robbery, drug, weapons and assault charges.
