NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police say two boys held up a man and woman and made off with backpacks holding a pair of semi-automatic pistols.

A preliminary report released Sunday says the man and woman, both 21, picked up the boys, who had asked for a ride. The report said the boys were about 13 or 14 years old.

It says one boy put a gun to the woman's neck, demanding their property, and were given two backpacks.

Police say the backpacks held a Glock 15 and a MasterPiece Arms MPA30T.
