Police beat

SUV, cash stolen from Warren pair

Two people were forced out of their vehicle early Tuesday by masked gunmen, who drove away in the couple's SUV, Little Rock police said.

A 28-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man, both from Warren, told officers that they were stopped at a stop sign at Pine Cone Drive and Reck Roads in southwest Little Rock when two men approached.

The robbers told them to get out of the 2014 black Toyota 4Runner.

They stole the man's wallet, containing $370, and drove off in the SUV.

The vehicle's license plate number is 495TRF, the report states.

Masked man finds bank door locked

A gunman who tried to enter a Little Rock bank Monday morning was stopped by a locked door, police said.

A teller at Simmons Bank at 7401 Cantrell Road told authorities that she saw a man outside who was carrying a purple gift bag, had a bandanna over his face and had a gun in his front waistband around 8:40 a.m.

She kept the door magnetically locked, thwarting a possible aggravated robbery, Little Rock Police Department spokesman Steve Moore said Tuesday.

When the gunman couldn't get into the bank, he "casually" made his way south behind the Edwards Food Giant shopping center at 7507 Cantrell Road, according to the report. The 36-year-old bank employee was not injured, the report states.

The gunman was described as black, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, and wearing a black hoodie, black jeans and tan hiking boots.
