Woman Robbed at Gunpoint in Alley: Police Blotter

Woman robbed at gunpoint in Forest park Alley, police report.

A cell phone, debit card and a plastic bag containing several items were taken from a 22-year-old woman Dec. 11, who was followed into an alley and held up at gunpoint, police said. The victim told police a man in his late 20s followed her into an alley in the 900 block of Hannah Avenue, where he pointed a semi automatic handgun at her and told her to, "Give me your stuff."

The suspect then took off in a "junky" box styled car.
