Passenger steals man's car, cash in Little Rock

An armed robber pointed a revolver at a driver's head before stealing money and leaving with his car Thursday in southwest Little Rock, according to police.

The robbery and carjacking occurred around 3:35 p.m. when the driver, a 31-year-old Little Rock man, was traveling in his silver 2014 Toyota Camry near the Wal-Mart store at 8801 Baseline Road, authorities said.

When the robber, described as a black man between 22 and 26 years old, asked for a ride in the area, the driver allowed him into his vehicle on the passenger side, the victim told police. A short time later, the robber pulled a chrome revolver from his right pocket, pointed it at the driver and demanded that he exit the car.

The robber then drove off in the car on Production Drive and later east on Distribution Drive, the report said. The man abandoned the car in the 8100 block of Distribution Drive and fled again on foot, police said. Authorities described the robber as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds. They said he was wearing a black hoodie and black pants.
