The victim was walking to her car in a public garage and was approached by the suspect. He displayed a knife, demanded money and then told the victim to drive him to an ATM. The victim did not have a bank card with her.

The suspect then took cash and property and fled on foot, the police report said. The suspect was described as Hispanic, about 50 years of age, with wavy hair, wearing a light blue shirt and light brown pants.
