Naperville police are searching for a suspect in the attempted armed robbery of a pedestrian Saturday morning.
A masked man armed with a handgun exited a maroon Cadillac about 6:55 a.m. and approached the victim on foot near Bauer Road and Briergate Drive, according to a news release from Naperville police. He demanded money from the victim before getting back into the car and leaving the area.
A black car that was believed to have been stolen also was at the scene and left with the Cadillac, police said.
No injuries were reported.
The suspect is described as a black man carrying a gun and wearing a mask and a black hooded sweatshirt, authorities said. The vehicle is described as a "late model" maroon Cadillac with tinted windows and spoked wheels.
