GREENSBORO, N.C. — A woman visiting the Greensboro Hebrew Cemetery on West Gate City Boulevard was robbed at gunpoint on Saturday.
Investigators say it happened just before noon. The suspect, described as a man in his 30s or 40s, pointed a handgun at the victim - demanding her purse, phone, and jewelry, before taking off in a light-colored vehicle.
Greensboro Police are actively searching for a suspect, and ask anyone with information to report it directly to the department or to CrimeStoppers.
The Greensboro Jewish Federation tells WFMY News 2 the organization has been encouraging visitors to bring another person with them to the cemetery.
The GJF says investigators have told them this was not a faith-based crime - rather a crime of opportunity.
