A 44-year-old woman walking on 23rd Street near Hampshire Street at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday was approached by a woman in her early 60s asking for directions. After ignoring her request and walking away, the 44-year-old said a white, two-door car pulled up alongside her. Inside was the woman in her 60s and a man in his 40s, who told the victim to get in the car.

The woman said she was afraid for her safety and got in the car, when she was driven away by the pair, who asked for her money. She gave them cash, a cell phone, and a debit card before being dropped off, uninjured.

The police have not made an arrest.
