An 84-year-old man was robbed Monday morning at a Little Rock gas station by three people who pinned him down and took his wallet, police said.

According to a report from the city’s Police Department, the Little Rock resident had dropped his keys between the seats in his pickup and was trying to retrieve them when three strangers pushed him against one of the seats.

The trio pinned him down and took his wallet from his pants pocket before fleeing south on Stagecoach Road in a white four-door car, the report states. The 84-year-old’s Social Security card, a debit card and $200 were listed as stolen.

The suspects were all described as black males, all about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds.
