Pizza Hut deliveryman robbed near Hydraulic, I-135

A Pizza Hut deliveryman was robbed late Monday night, police said.

The 22-year-old man was robbed at about 11:30 p.m. Monday as he was walking in the 1400 block of East 31st South, Lt. James Espinoza said. That’s northwest of I-135 and Hydraulic.

The victim told police he was attempting to deliver a pizza in that block when two men approached him. One pointed a gun at him and demanded the pizza and his money, Espinoza said.

The armed suspect then fired a shot, but the victim escaped injury. Officers interviewed residents of the neighborhood to see if anyone heard or saw anything related to the incident, Espinoza said.

Police would like anyone with information about the case to call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
