A man was robbed at knife point Friday night on his way to deliver a pizza to the Turlock residence.

The victim was unharmed in the encounter, said Turlock Police spokesperson Sgt. Stephen Webb.

The robbery occurred shortly before 10:30 p.m. Friday in the 300 block of Wayside Drive.

The victim was in the area to deliver a pizza when he was confronted by a man who pointed a knife at him and demanded his money and cell phone. The victim complied and the robber fled the area on foot. The robber did drop the victim’s cell phone at the scene, Webb said.

The robber was not the individual who ordered the pizza, Webb said. The suspect was described as a white male in his 20s.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Turlock Police Department at 668-5550.
