A family was robbed at gunpoint on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The victims — a mother, father, and three children — had just returned from dinner to their home on Bertram Boulevard in the Vista Woods section of Stafford County. It was dark outside, and the father was trying to fit his key into a front door when a man appeared and put a rifle in the face of the two adults, said Stafford sheriff’s office spokesman Bill Kennedy.
The male victim told the man to leave, and he did but not before making off with the woman’s purse valued at $230. The robber fled the scene and was spotted getting into a foreign-made vehicle at the intersection of Bertram Boulevard and Buck Road.
The robber is said to be black, wearing a white tank top, blue jean shorts, and a bandanna over his face, said Kennedy.
