YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP, MI - A Chinese food delivery driver was robbed of his vehicle by a group of armed young women, police say.
Police were called 10:26 p.m. Saturday, March 25 to the 3000 block of Prescott Street in Ypsilanti Township for a report of an attempted armed robbery, according to the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
A 24-year-old male delivery driver for Li's China One Restaurant told police he went to Prescott Street for a delivery and left the car running as he went to the door, said Derrick Jackson of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
As the driver was talking to a young woman at the door, another came up behind him and started hitting him and demanding money, Jackson said the driver told police. The individual hitting him pulled out a gun as the driver ran away.
The two teenaged women, and a third standing nearby, then reportedly got into the delivery vehicle and drove away, Jackson said.
Police who responded to the scene found the car less than a mile away in the 200 block of Woodruff Lane, Jackson said. No one was with the car and homeowners at the original address told police they weren't home at the time and didn't know the three women at their home.
The suspects are described as three black teenaged females, but no further description was available, Jackson said.
The driver suffered minor injuries and the incident remains under investigation.
