Robbers get wallet of LR motel worker

A Little Rock motel employee was robbed of his wallet at gunpoint by two people Thursday night, he told police.

An employee said two people went into Rodeway Inn and Suites at 2401 W. 65th St. about 9:30 p.m. and told him to “show them where the money was” and lie on the floor, according to the report.

One robber had a gray semi-automatic handgun, and both wore black masks, the employee told police. He said the assailants took his wallet, which contained his debit card and identification. The police report indicated that the pair also took money from the motel.

The employee said the robbers ran out and got into a gray older model Ford sedan, possibly a Crown Victoria, and sped east on Interstate 30.

A witness told police that he thought he saw the robbers parked on the east side of the motel before the holdup. He described them as a man in a gray hoodie and a woman in red clothing standing next to a gray Ford Crown Victoria with a dark tint, one tire missing a hubcap and a sticker in the back window that may have been the Air Jordan logo.

The employee later said his stolen debit card had been used to make purchases at the Exxon convenience store at 10724 W. Markham St. and Wal-Mart Supercenter at 2700 S. Shackleford Road.
