Pizza Hut delivery woman punched and robbed in Youngstown


YOUNGSTOWN — A 28-year-old woman delivering Pizza Hut pizza to a house in the 700 block of East Boston Avenue on the South Side late Tuesday night was punched and robbed, police said.

The woman said a man standing on the front porch told her to come to him, but she agreed to meet him halfway up the driveway around 10:45 p.m. When she drove up the driveway, and the two were face to face, he punched her and she fell back into her car.

Two more men wearing black masks, one with a shotgun, came running down the driveway and demanded the food being delivered and her money. She gave up the pizza order for the house on East Boston and another order plus $40 cash, police said.

The suspects then went through her car and took a bag full of clothes. They then ran through backyards.
