Delivery driver kidnapped and robbed in Far North Dallas, Dallas police reported

A woman delivering a pizza in Far North Dallas was kidnapped and robbed on Saturday night, police said.

The 35-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, was returning to her vehicle around 10 pm after delivering to an apartment complex on Block 5000 of Pear Ridge Drive, near Dallas North Tollway and President George Bush Turnpike, when she was approached by a person holding a gun that demanded money from her.

He ordered the woman to get into his vehicle and sat in the driver’s seat, police said.

Police said he threatened and assaulted her while driving through Dallas for about an hour. He stopped at an ATM and ordered the woman to withdraw the money. He took about $ 400 from her, said a police spokesman.

The thief then drove to a West Dallas convenience store on block 5500 on Bernal Drive, where the woman jumped out of the car and ran for help. Police call records show that several police officers were dispatched to the scene around 11:15 pm.

While the store clerk called the police, the thief fled in the victim’s white Kia Sportage, police said.

The investigators did not provide a detailed description of the thief or other information about him. A spokesman said Sunday morning that he remains at large.
