Strong-arm robbery Sunday in Cd'A

COEUR d'ALENE - Police are searching for a robber suspected of taking cash and other items from a man walking in the 900 block of east Mullan Avenue early Sunday morning.

The Coeur d'Alene Police Department reported that a white, four-door, late model sedan stopped in the road next to the adult male victim at 7:55 a.m. A female passenger in the back seat initiated a conversation, distracting the victim from seeing the male passenger exit the vehicle and approach him from the side.

The male suspect took personal items and cash from the victim, then patted his pockets for additional valuables while yelling and posturing in a threatening manner. The victim did not see the driver.

After stealing the victim's property, the suspect vehicle left the area westbound on Mullan Avenue. Officers responded and checked the surrounding area but were not able to locate the suspect vehicle.

Robbery suspect descriptions: The white, late model four-door sedan with unknown Idaho license plates; unknown driver; a white female, early 20s, dark hair, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and 200 pounds; and a black male, approximately 6 feet 2 inches and 200 pounds.

If anyone has any information on this crime, contact the Coeur d'Alene Police Department at 769-2363.
