A man was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night while sitting in his car in a parking lot near Vancouver Mall.
Officers were dispatched at 10:37 p.m. to the Red Robin restaurant at 8311 N.E. Vancouver Mall Drive for a report of a robbery that had just occurred.
The man was in his vehicle on the phone when another man got into the backseat, pointed a handgun at him and demanded his wallet, Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said in an email.
The victim handed over his wallet, and the suspect fled on foot, Kapp said.
Police described the armed robber as a white man about 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a thin build. The Major Crimes Unit is investigating the incident.
