A masked man robbed a victim of $500 and other items Thursday, after first offering to wash the victim’s car for $5, a police report says.
The victim told police the incident happened around 6:20 p.m. Thursday, near the intersection of Saluda and Blake streets in southern Rock Hill, near a car wash. The victim told police the suspect was wearing a hoodie and ski mask, the Rock Hill Police Department report states.
The victim told the suspect who offered the $5 car wash that he “did not have any cash,” police reported. The suspect responded by telling the victim at gunpoint to give him his wallet and his watch, police said.
