An armed robbery was reported about 11 p.m. Thursday by a woman who was accosted by a gunman as she sat in her car in the 2300 block of Woolsey Street.
She reported that she had just driven up to her boyfriend’s apartment and she saw a man standing on the corner. He immediately walked over to her car and asked her for the time.
The woman looked at her purse as she was about to exit her car, and she saw the man pull out a gray steel handgun from his waistband.
He saw her look at her purse and told her, “That’s what I want,” according to Capt. Bobby Miller of the Berkeley Police Department.
The suspect took her purse and her car keys and as he left she screamed at him to give back her keys. He threw them back toward her car and walked, and she found them with a flashlight.
The suspect is described as an African-American male in his 20s, 5 feet, 5 inches tall, 150 pounds, wearing a pink T-shirt, black sweatpants, and white tennis shoes. The victim lost her purse and identification cards and $15.
