Akron police are working to identify a person who allegedly robbed a postal carrier Monday afternoon.
Around 4 p.m. on Monday, a male stole from a 32-year-old postal worker in the 900 block of Bisson Street. During the robbery, the person kept his right hand in his coat pocket and told the worker he had a gun before taking the property, police said.
He then fled westbound on Diagonal Road, police said.
The person who allegedly robbed the postal carrier is described as a male aged 16-20 years old and is about 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet tall, police said.
During the robbery, the male had his entire face covered and was wearing a black coat, dark-colored pants, a ski mask and what appeared to be red gloves, police said.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a $150,000 reward that leads to arrest and conviction in the case. If you have a tip, call 1-877-876-2455, say “Law Enforcement,” and reference case No. 4457652-ROBB.
