Robbery on Broad Street
From Lt.Minton:
On 11/25/2015 at approximately 12:50am the victim was traveling westbound on E. Broad Street when she stopped at the corner of 32nd and E. Broad Street. The suspect approached her car on the passenger side of the vehicle and displayed a semiautomatic firearm. The suspect got into her vehicle and made her drive to Chimborazo Park. Once in the park he robbed her of her belongings. The suspect left on foot through the park toward the dog park. The victim was not injured.
The suspect is described as a black male in his mid 40’s, 6’3”, 180 lbs, dark complexion, wool cap, denim jacket, tan or light colored shirt, dark pants, armed with a large semiautomatic handgun. We are asking anyone that lives in the area that has a camera to check their video footage to see if they captured this incident or the suspect walking through the neighborhood.

She was so lucky. Thank god they let her go.
Great feeling knowing there’s a lunatic with a Glock walking up and down Broad Street while we all lay sleeping a few yards away.
There was no foot traffic on the 2900 block of East Broad from approx. 12:30 am through 1:30am
From Lt.Minton:
“We have made significant progress in this case and don’t believe it was a random incident”
Lt. Dan’s statement may explain why victim didn’t just floor it; she knew the suspect? That in no way makes his actions acceptable nor assigns blame to her. Fools waving handguns put all of us at great risk. Thank goodness she was unhurt.
This lady needs to buy a lottery ticket! Thank goodness, so very lucky. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe and vigilant neighbors!!
I’m very tempted to go with Dana on this one. I’ve had my share of incidents the past couple of years and am really fed up!
Dang Church Hill. We need to get the Christmas spirit or something in us. We have been having too many incidents lately.
@Lt. Dan
What exactly does “We have made significant progress in this case and don’t believe it was a random incident” mean?
The community would love some clarification and or further info/details….
Thanks!
