SALISBURY — A Marco’s Pizza delivery driver was robbed Friday night, according to the Salisbury Police Department.
At 11:30 p.m., the woman was robbed on the way to make a delivery. Police say she pulled over at what she thought was the intersection of North Long Street and 12th Street to check her phone.
A black man walked up to her car and demanded money. The vehicle window was down, and the driver told police she was unsure if the suspect had a gun. She gave the man money and he ran.
