A man was held up by three men, at least one of them armed, while he walked on Vessup Beach Sunday night, according to the V.I. Police Department.

Police were dispatched to the area at about 10:20 p.m. and spoke to the victim. The man said he was on the beach just before 10 p.m. when he noticed three men, one with a handgun, walking toward him.
