OSWEGO – On August 23, 2024, at about 12:05AM, the Oswego Police Department was dispatched to an eastside residence for a robbery in progress. It was reported to police that three (3) male suspects had arrived in a vehicle at the residence armed with handguns. A physical altercation occurred with the males and multiple victims at the residence who were threatened at gun point.
