Robbed at gunpoint responding to a call

Following our recent warning to auto locksmiths to take care, two men have recently robbed a locksmith at gunpoint near Sarasota, Florida, after calling him out claiming they needed their vehicle unlocked. 

The locksmith was responding to a call at an arranged location and when he went to fetch his tools, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and demanded the locksmith's money. The suspect with the gun took the locksmith's wallet containing $1,400.00. Meanwhile the other suspect stole approximately $500 worth of tools.
