Two people waiting for a ride early Saturday morning were robbed at gunpoint, police said.
According to Culver City police, it happened just after 2 a.m. in the 9000 block of Krueger Street. They were called to the area after learning of the incident and despite their quick arrival, they were unable to locate a suspect, a statement said.
Investigators say the victims were waiting in the area for a rideshare when they were approached by an unknown suspect.
“The suspect pointed a black handgun at the victims and demanded their bags,” police said. “The victims handed over a handbag and backpack. The suspect threatened to ‘kill’ the victims if they contacted police and then left the area on foot.”
They were last seen running east toward Higuera Street from the area, police noted. He is described as a man in his early twenties, short and of medium build. He was wearing a dark-colored hoodie.
Anyone with information is asked to contact CCPD at (210) 253-6120.
