Police have reported two more armed attacks in the Maple Leaf area.
A gunman robbed the Sterling Savings Bank, 828 N.E. Northgate Way, on Monday, Nov. 1, at about 4:40 p.m., police said. He is described as a white male age 25 to 30, about 5 foot 8 inches with a medium build and a scruffy beard. Police said he was wearing a black stocking cap and white pants. He may have fled in a 1980s Dodge Caravan.
On Saturday, Oct. 30, a woman was sitting in her car outside a restaurant on the north side of Northgate Mall, waiting to pick up her to-go order, police said. A dark sport utility vehicle behind her honked at her to move, then pulled up beside the woman’s car. The woman told officers the man inside the SUV then pointed a handgun at her before driving off.
He is described as an Asian male about 40 years old, with a medium build and dark hair, wearing glasses. Police made a check of the area, but couldn’t find him. The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m.
A lot of idiots don’t get that that’s the line for CPK takeout orders. CPK could put out more prominent signage to help prevent such stupidity.
