ALBANY,GA --
Students from Radium Middle School tell police they were held at gunpoint over their bikes.

It happened Saturday.

Three boys were riding their bikes along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive when they said two males came riding up behind them, held out a gun and demanded their bikes.

One of the suspects was a classmate of theirs.

The gunman told the boys they were not stealing their bikes, merely trading them for theirs, and if they didn't hand them over, he would kill them.

One of the victims identified one of the suspects by his nickname, Cougar.

They don't know who the gunman was.

If you know anything about this case, call Albany police.
