From DPD’s Sgt. Jennifer Ross…

On 3-30-14 at approximately 3:46 pm, Decatur Police responded to an armed robbery that occurred in the 100 block of Sycamore Place.  The victim reported she was in the parking lot organizing items in her vehicle when she was approached from behind by a male who demanded money.  The victim handed over the money she had on her and the male then reached into her vehicle and began going through items and took a bag that contained a small amount of money.  The victim observed the suspect holding a small black-handled kitchen paring style knife in his right hand. The suspect ordered the victim to walk away while he was going through items in her vehicle.  The suspect then threw the victim’s keys over a fence and ran west on East Howard Avenue.  The victim was not injured.

The suspect was described as a black male, dark complexion, approximately 6’0, slender build, wearing dark clothing and a gray knit cap.
