Pair robbed at gunpoint outside Flat Rock mobile home

A suspect robbed two people at gunpoint outside a Flat Rock mobile home Wednesday evening.

Police said the victims pulled into a driveway in the 24000 block of Deer Creek Drive in Deerfield Estates Mobile Home Park when they were approached from behind by a suspect armed with a black semi-automatic handgun around 6:15 p.m. 

That suspect demanded items from the victims. There was a brief physical confrontation, police said, before the victims complied and the suspect fled.

The victims told police they saw the suspect get into the front passenger side of a black Chrysler 300 with chrome accents and tinted windows. The car fled west on Deer Creek Drive toward Telegraph Road and eventually went northbound on Telegraph.
