CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police in Kanawha County are investigating a robbery where a pizza delivery driver was robbed and forced to drive the suspect to Dunbar.
The incident happened at about 1:45 p.m. Monday.
Metro 911 dispatchers say the pizza driver was apparently stopped at a red light at the intersection of Florida Street and Kanawha Boulevard in Charleston when someone got out of another car, forced his way into the pizza driver's car, then robbed him and made the victim drive him to Dunbar.
The suspect ran away from the car when it got to Dutch Hollow Road in Dunbar.
Police are still searching for the suspect. He's described as a man in his early 30s and about 6'2" tall.

Yea, the cops around here are an easy joke. They slither around at night putting tickets on cars, and putting the date on the tickets from days before (thats just lazy and illegal), but they werent so on point when everbody on my street got their muffler/catalytic converter stolen last week. No surprise, things are the same all over with cops: never solving real crimes like murders or missing people, only glorified meter maids. < yea, I said it. I challenge someone to prove me wrong. And I know if they know who I am, they'll make life hard for me, still not solving the real crimes though. Im moving out of Huntington, its only costing me money. Alot of people are moving out of here-like most cities/towns in WV, they are failing and costing taxpayers to waste money on them. Seriously tho, someone please leave a comment telling me the last real crime they solved? At most other jobs, they fire you for that. And you cant include "ticket quota" or "checkpoint/arrest quota". Worthless cops...

Ok... I will undoubtedly be burned at the stake for this but the mistrusting side of me is itching to be heard... Step back and look at these robberies objectively and ask yourself "Self, why would anyone want to rob a pizza delivery person for what is most likely a menial sum of money? Why not knock over a few parking meters and get alot more money? Or maybe whip a couple of vending machines till they puke some funds?" Is it at all possible that perhaps the "first" of these robberies actually took place and the rest of them were some half baked set up by the drivers who saw a way to pocket some money and get some time away from the restaurant? Is there ANY type of eye-witnesses to the robberies or maybe some surveillance or security camera footage? Worth anything? Again... I am biting the bullet and ready for my tongue...errrr..."type" lashing, as the case may be.
