ALBANY, N.Y. -- Albany police are investigating an armed robbery at a home on Orange Street.

Shortly before 7:30 p.m. Monday, officers responded to a residence on the 200 block of Orange Street where a 41-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman said a man entered the home with what appeared to be a handgun. The female was ordered to stay downstairs, while the suspect and the male victim were upstairs.
