ST. LOUIS — Police are looking for a man seen in security images taking packages from a delivery van after robbing the delivery driver at gunpoint.
According to an incident report from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident happened on Wednesday on the 4900 block of Goethe Avenue at around 6:15 p.m.
Police said the female delivery driver was approached by a man and a woman, and the man pulled out a gun and demanded packages. Security images showed the man was seen in the back of the van going through packages.
