On Wednesday (Sept. 28) at about 10:50 a.m., Vancouver Police responded to a strong-armed robbery that occurred at the Vancouver Mall located at 8700 Vancouver Mall Drive.
The victim was walking through the parking lot on her way to work, when she noticed a maroon-colored vehicle (resembling a Kia Optima) drive past her and then the car parked.
