University Park Police say a would-be robber tried to take a woman’s vehicle parked near the Snider Plaza CVS Friday armed with what turned out to be a fake handgun.
Police say several Snider Plaza patrons witnessed the suspect try to take the vehicle shortly before 2 p.m. Friday, called 911, and blocked the suspect’s exit.
Police arrested Jose Ignacio Ramirez, 20, on a complaint of aggravated robbery, police records show, and University Park officials say police continue to investigate the incident.
City officials didn’t release the suspect’s name as of about 4:30 p.m. Friday, but we’ll update this story as more information becomes available.
