Limo Driver Robbed At Gunpoint, Worcester Police Seek Suspect

WORCESTER, MA—Police are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a limo driver at gunpoint on Friday evening.

On April 7 around 9 p.m. Worcester police were called to Oxford Street, where a limo driver had apparently just been robbed. The 60-year-old male victim said he drives for New Worcester Limo service and was sent to pick someone up on Oxford Street.

When the driver got there, he saw a man sitting on the front porch. The man got in the back seat of the vehicle and moments later pulled out a long gun, possibly a shotgun, and demanded money. The driver gave up his cash and the suspect took off and ran toward Austin Street. The driver immediately called his supervisory who then contacted police.

While waiting for police to arrive, the victim attempted to drive around the neighborhood to see if he could spot the suspect and wasn't able to find anyone.

The suspect was described as a white male, possibly in his thirties, approximately 5’7” to 5’10” in height with an average build. The suspect had short dark hair wearing a long jacket and jeans. The victim was not injured during this ordeal.
