Toledo police were investigating a report of a kidnapping and aggravated robbery of a woman from the Kroger parking lot at 833 West Alexis Rd.
A 22-year-old woman told police she was in the parking lot at 8:45 p.m. Sunday when a man tapped on her window and told her she had a flat tire, according to police reports.
When she got out of her car, he told her he had a gun and to get back in her car, which he then drove to an ATM machine and demanded she withdraw money, police said.
Her attempts to withdraw money were unsuccessful, police said. She then gave him her credit card in exchange for being allowed to call her father, who she said would give the man money, according to reports.
The man turned north off Alexis onto Glenn, and the woman jumped out of the car at a stop sign, police said. She told police the man tried to run her over before fleeing.
Police said the man may be the same person who put a gun to another woman's back and threatened to kill her when she went to her car in a parking lot at 309 West Alexis about 11:30 p.m. May 22.
The man was described as white, between 5 feet, 8 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 140-150 pounds, in his late 40s or early 50s, with light brown, curly, collar-length hair, wearing a white T-shirt, dark green or black windbreaker, and blue jeans. He also had a dark cap.
