James City County Police are trying to identify two men who robbed a pizza delivery driver at Lafayette Square Apartments on Feb. 21.
Police were called to a store near the apartment complex around 7:40 p.m. after the pizza delivery driver, who works for Chanello’s Pizza, reported she was robbed, according to police spokeswoman Stephanie Williams.
The driver told police she had delivered two pizzas to two apartments in the complex, which is located in the 100 block of Lafayette Boulevard.
As she was putting her delivery bags back into the car, an unknown man approached her, showed a handgun, and demanded her money and cell phone, Williams said.
The man told her to get in her car and leave. As she was getting in the car, she saw a second man standing near the front of the vehicle.
The delivery driver then drove to a nearby store, where she called police. She was not injured during the incident.
The first man, who displayed the firearm, is described as a black male in his early 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 140 pounds. He had a thin mustache and a “small patch of hair” on his chin, and wore a black hooded sweatshirt and black jeans.
The second man is described as a black male between 6 feet and 6 feet 4 inches tall. He wore a dark-colored jacket and a bandana covering the lower half of his face.
