Two Rideshare Customers Robbed At Gunpoint In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — Police in Culver City Sunday are continuing their search for a man who robbed two rideshare customers at gunpoint, department officials said Sunday.

The robbery occurred at 2:05 a.m. Saturday on the 9000 block of Krueger Street, Culver City Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Atenza said.

Two people who were waiting for a rideshare vehicle were approached by a man who pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at them and demanded their bags, according to Atenza.
