Around 7:45 p.m. on July 17, officers responded to Pizza Hut in the 3000 block of Riverside Dr. for a report of an armed robbery in which the suspect fled on the victim’s vehicle. A 42-year-old female reported being robbed at gunpoint of her vehicle and personal items while she was sitting in the lot waiting on her food.

The suspect was described as a black male with light complexion wearing all black and a face covering, armed with a handgun. The male suspect drove east on Riverside Drive. A short time later officers spotted the vehicle southbound on South Main Street. The driver accelerated quickly and crashed near the intersection of Lockett Drive while making a turn off South Main Street. The suspect then fled the scene on foot into a wooded area.

No one was injured during the robbery incident.
