TYLER – Tyler police are looking for the lone gunman who robbed Rent Time at 3861 Highway 64 West. It happened shortly before 7:00 Monday night.
An employee told officers she was alone at the store when the suspect entered and began asking questions about some of the furniture. After a short conversation, the victim and suspect walked back toward the office area of the store. He then placed a pistol in the victim’s back and told her to give him all of the money.
Once the suspect had the money, he told the victim to enter the office, shut the door, and wait for him to leave. As she entered the office other employees arrived back at the store. The suspect fled out the front door while the other employees entered through the back door. The other employees did not see the suspect. No injuries were reported.
A search of the area turned up no trace of the suspect. He is described as a black male possibly wearing all black. He is about 6’3” tall and is thin and clean shaven. He was wearing sun glasses and a black baseball cap with “Sox” written on the front of it.
