ARMED ROBBERY

Last night, at approximately 8:10 P.M., a 51 year old city resident became the victim of an Armed Robbery. The incident occurred on Parker Avenue (near Center Street) while the victim was standing outside her apartment awaiting transportation to church. The victim was approached by a lone male who demanded that she hand over her purse. The victim initially refused to comply, at which time the actor produced a handgun and pressed the barrel of same into the victim's stomach area while threatening to shoot her if she continued to resist. The victim subsequently complied and the actor fled the scene (on foot) in possession of the purse (west on Lake Avenue). The actor was described as a Hispanic male,  17-20 years of age, light skinned, clean shaven, approximately 5'5" and weighing approximately 140 lbs. (thin build). The actor was wearing a "plain" dark blue sweatshirt and black colored watch cap.
