POLICE PROBE I-81 ROBBERY

Roanoke County police are investigating a reported robbery on northbound Interstate 81 near exit 140 Tuesday night.

A 37-year-old man en route to Bennington, Vt., told police he was flagged down about 9 p.m. Tuesday by two men who needed help fixing a flat tire. One of the men asked for gas money. The victim said he did not have any money. The man then allegedly told the victim that he'd "better" have some money. The victim told police he handed over his wallet, which contained $150.

No weapon was displayed during the incident, police said. Police said they have no suspects.
