WHITTIER — An armed man robbed a teen of an iPod Tuesday, police said.
The crime was reported about 1 p.m. on Santa Fe Springs Road, just south of Whittier Boulevard, Whittier police Officer Mike Dekowski said.
The young victim, estimated to be 14 or 15, was approached by a newer-model brown Volkswagon, the officer said.
The driver called the teen over before displaying a handgun in his pocket and demanding the boy’s iPod, Dekowski said.
The robber was last seen fleeing westbound on Persing Drive, he said.
Police described the robber as a light-skinned Latino man of about 19, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 200 pounds, wearing a blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a blue L.A. Dodgers baseball cap.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Whittier Police Department.
