Robbers target pair in LR eatery parking lot

— Little Rock police responded Sunday evening to a report of a robbery in the parking lot of an Outback Steakhouse restaurant.

A man and a woman were robbed at gunpoint about 6:20 p.m. outside the eatery, at 105 Markham Park Drive, by two black males, police said.

The assailants approached the pair and told the man to lie facedown on the ground. The robbers took the woman’s purse, keys, debit cards, Apple iPhone 3 and $60 cash before taking off on foot toward the nearby Goodwill store, police said.

A witness told police that the robbers then jumped into the bed of a red Ford Ranger pickup and drove east in the Academy Sports parking lot.

Officers circled the shopping center and surrounding apartment complexes but failed to find the robbers, police said.

Police described the robbers as black males between ages 18 and 25. One was wearing a blue or black hoodie, police said.
