Robbery reported in La Puente
LA PUENTE -- Deputies are seeking a man who used a handgun to rob another man late Friday, officials said.
The crime took place about 10:50 p.m. in the 600 block of Dora Guzman Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Steven Katz said in a written statement.
The victim, a 43-year-old man, was approached by a robber who demanded money, the lieutenant said.
At first the victim refused, but he complied when the robber pulled a handgun, he said.
The gunman was described as a Latino man in between 20 and 25 years old, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds with a mole on his nose, Katz said. He was last seen riding east on Inyo Street on a bicycle.
