Henderson, N.C. — A Henderson woman was robbed Sunday by a man she said also tried to take her car while she was loading groceries into the vehicle.

Henderson police have vague description of the robber, who was armed with a handgun. The incident happened about 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Food Lion on North Garnett Street.

The 23-year-old woman told police she was loading her groceries when the man took her cellphone and tried to take her car.

Police said the robbery does not appear to be related to other recent carjackings in the area.

They have been chasing this guy around for weeks now, multiple people have seen him. I can't beleive that they don't have a better description of the guy yet. I also find it even more hard to beleive the WRAL won't post the description that they do have. They lose more credibility as a news outlet by the day...if there is any left at all. They choose political correctness over public safety every time.

"I do think it's a bit early to say it's not related to the carjackings etc that have been happening in Henderson recently"

The incident in this story is related to a Vance County Sheriff's Office investigation that's not related to the other REAL incidents (not the 1000 imaginary incidents that have come up on the Henderson Newspaper comments area since I heard about it). When your Police Chief, Sheriff, Mayor, etc. have to plead with people to not believe everything they read on Facebook I have to wonder about folks.
