District 1 Detectives are investigating after a 40-year-old man was robbed of his vehicle at the White Castle in the 4500 block of S. Kingshighway.
Officers responded to the White Castle after receiving a call for a hold-up on December 27, 2024 around 6:30 pm. After they arrived, they located the 40-year-old man who reported he had just been robbed at gunpoint of his vehicle while picking up a food delivery order.
The 40-year-old man stated he left his vehicle unlocked and running while he went inside the White Castle to pick up an order. When he returned, he observed two masked men inside his vehicle. When the 40-year-old man confronted the suspects, they both displayed a handgun and ordered him to stay away, before driving off in the man’s vehicle onto Kingshighway.
The man’s vehicle was recovered later that night in the College Hill Neighborhood.
