Lost Driver Seeking Directions Allegedly Robbed

A woman who was lost and sought directions from a country club valet Saturday night reported money was missing from her purse after she received the directions, police said.

The woman pulled into the Crestmont Country Club, located at 750 Eagle Rock Ave. to ask for directions around 8 p.m. on March 16, police said. She told police her purse containing $97, which was visible on top, was on the passenger seat.

As she pulled up, the woman told police, a male valet approached the car on the passenger's side and the woman rolled down that window. A female valet then approached the driver's side window and the driver asked the female valet directions.

According to the report, after getting directions, the driver went to put her phone in her purse and noticed the $97 was missing.

As she began to look for the money, her son in the back seat said, "The man reached his hand in."

Later, the driver's son repeated the story when officers arrived.

The general manager told police the camera footage covering the area could not be retrieved.

An investigation is continuing.
