Delivery driver robbed at gunpoint

Amelia A. Pridemore
Register-Herald Reporter

Beckley police say they are searching for three men who they believe ordered a pizza — just to rob the delivery driver.

Monday night, someone placed an order at Papa John’s Pizza, and a delivery driver came to a location in the 200 block of Mool Avenue, said Lt. Cheri Mullens, shift supervisor for the Beckley Police Department. Around 11:30 p.m., three men yelled for the driver from across the street. The driver came to them, believing they had ordered the pizza.

One of the three then brandished a handgun, threatening the driver, Mullens said. The men demanded the driver’s cash and wallet. The three suspects fled on foot, taking an undisclosed amount of cash from the driver’s Papa John’s deliveries.

Mullens said police believe someone placed this delivery order, intending to rob the driver. The order was placed with a cell phone, and the suspects apparently picked a random house number when they called.

Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call the Beckley Police Department at 256-1720 or Crime Stoppers at 255-7867.
