Online iWatch Sale Goes Wrong Offline In Danville Wednesday
Danville Police are looking for a suspect in connection with a Wednesday afternoon robbery in the parking lot of the Safeway store, 3496 Camino Tassajara.
Police Chief Allan Shields said officers were dispatched to that location at 12:14 p.m. in response to the report of a robbery.
Officers learned that the victim had met a man in the parking lot to buy an Apple iWatch that was being sold online. The suspect instead threatened force and took the victimā€™s wallet after the victim refused to purchase the watch. The suspect then fled in a gray Toyota Prius with Mitsubishi Oakland paper plates. The vehicle also had Lyft ride-sharing stickers in the front window and rear hatchback.
The suspect is described as an adult African-American male, approximately 20 years old, 6ā€™0ā€¯ tall, wearing a white hoodie with gold writing.
