Three Monroeville men were charged with a Church Street armed robbery. A woman driving along Church Street was flashed by the lights of a vehicle behind her. Thinking she must know the people in the car, she proceded to stop. When she realized the people in the car were strangers, she tried to drive on, but was blocked by the other car. They approached her, asked for her money and jewelry, and told her they had guns. She saw one gun. The robbers then got back in their car and left. Two of the men were apprehended, but one escaped.
