SANTA ANA – Police are looking for a man who apparently robbed a couple at gunpoint early Friday.

The robbery occurred shortly before 1 a.m. in the 2400 block of West St. Andrew Place when a woman and her boyfriend, both 19, were sitting in the back seat of her vehicle, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.

The woman told police they heard a tap on the window and saw a man holding a black handgun, Bertagna said. The man demanded money from the couple – in English and Spanish, he said.

“Fearing that she would be shot, she opened the door and handed him her purse,” Bertagna said.

The robber ran southbound on Greenville Street. He was Latino, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build, and was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and black pants, Bertagna said.

No injuries were reported.

Anyone with information about this case was urged to call Santa Ana police at 714-245-8400.
