Centralia police are investigating an overnight robbery in which a motorist said she was approached at gunpoint at the 100 block of Harrison Avenue.
Officers called about 12:15 a.m. were told the female was inside her vehicle when a male with a pistol demanded her purse.
She handed it over and he fled to a maroon sedan then left the area, according to the Centralia Police Department.
Police Sgt. Brian Warren said the victim actually knew the man and they were meeting; although Warren didn’t know the details about why.
The victim was not hurt, according to police.
Information from her led police to a residence in the Logan district of Centralia where they arrested Anthony F. Johnson as well as Kaylie J. Longmire. Longmire was driving the car, Warren said.
A gun has been recovered and officers are searching the home this afternoon, according to Warren.
Further information still to come.
