Lexington Police searching for armed robbery suspect

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ)- Lexington Police say they don’t think it’ll take them long to find a man accused of robbing a woman at gunpoint Saturday night.

That’s because the suspect reportedly messaged the victim on social media, where he has plenty of photos, likely of himself.

According to officers, he offered to sell the victim his phone.

When the woman drove to meet him off Osage court near the Woodhill neighborhood, the man reportedly came up to her car, pointed a gun at her, and demanded money.

Officers say the suspect is in his mid 20’s and about 5’11”.

The victim told police during the robbery the suspect had a grey sweatshirt over his head.
