Two daring individuals pulled off the ever-common robbery of a delivery man in South of South.
At 11:40 p.m. Friday, the driver for Xing Yang Chinese Restaurant attempted to make a delivery on the 2000 block of St. Albans Street, needing to contact the store to have someone call the number attached to the order since nobody answered, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A male soon appeared in the second-floor window of the location and told the complainant nobody from that location had placed any order.
As he was leaving, the worker, having confirmed with his employer that nobody had answered at the provided number, found himself in the presence of the unknown figures, one of whom placed an object in his back as the other went through his pockets. Removed of $16 and the food, the complainant said they fled westbound on St. Albans Street toward 21st Street.
He described the aggressors as black, in their 20s, and 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, and having medium builds, with the first wearing a light-colored T-shirt and blue jeans, and his partner donning a black hoodie and blue jeans.
