NATCHEZ — Natchez police are looking for two men who reportedly robbed a 63-year-old man at gunpoint on Sgt. Henry Brown Drive early Thursday morning.

Natchez Interim Police Chief Danny White said Charles Bailey, 202 Sgt. Henry Brown Drive, was walking home at approximately 2:25 a.m. when a man wearing a black mask reportedly pulled up beside him in a blue or green Pontiac car, pointed an automatic handgun at him and demanded money.

White said Bailey alleges that the driver and a male passenger forced him to lean against the car while they took $700 from his back pocket.
