Police are looking for a man who pulled a gun on a 22-year-old and stole money from a Wichita home Tuesday afternoon.

The 22-year-old called 911 to report the robbery at about 5 p.m., officer Paul Cruz said. It happened in the 5000 block of East Harry, which is near Oliver.

Cruz said the robber arrived at the home, pulled out a handgun, went inside while the 22-year-old was there and took money. He fled afterward, he said. Cruz said the 22-year-old didn’t know his assailant.

The robber was still at large as of Wednesday morning. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Wichita-Sedgwick County Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
