YOUNGSTOWN -- Police were called shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday to the home of an East Midlothian Boulevard woman who said a man put a gun to her head and stole a car hours earlier.
The report says the woman went to a friend's home on Forest View Drive on the city's East Side for a ride home. When she and the friend got into the car, a man came out of the bushes and threatened her with the gun, telling the women to get out of the vehicle before he fled in it, the report says.
The man had a black semiautomatic handgun, the report shows. The victim and her friend recovered the car a few streets away, but the victim's purse containing $700 was missing, the report says.
