According to police, Beers and Kostial robbed a man, then shoved him out of a vehicle last Monday.
It all started after a get-together at an Alexandria Avenue Apartment. The victim asked Beers and Kostial for a ride home, and Beers got behind the wheel.
Police say on the way home, the victim noticed they had driven past his apartment.
"Just then, the individual in the back seat reached over and grabbed him around the neck," said Greensburg Police Captain Robert Stafford. "And the driver reached over and started going through his pockets."
Investigators say Beers and Kostial ordered the victim to take off his pants and give them his wallet. With the car still moving, they then shoved him out.
An arrest warrant charging Beers with robbery and "other offenses" has been obtained by police. Kostial is facing the same charges, police say.
Both of them are still on the run.
Anyone with information is asked to call Greensburg Police at 724-834-3800.
