Roseville woman robbed at gunpoint outside home

A 27-year-old Roseville woman said a man came out of the bushes and robbed her of her purse as she and her father were walking to their front door Friday night.

The incident occurred at 11:50 p.m. in the area of Rice Lane and Barbara Way, said Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther.

The woman said she had just reached the door when the robber ran up and pointed the gun at her, Gunther said. The woman said she gave up her purse and that the robber ran to a gold, late-model Lexus sedan, getting into the passenger side. The car then drove off, Gunther said.

She described the suspect as black, in his 20s and about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (916) 784-5070.
