A woman who met a man in the Westroads Mall parking lot Friday afternoon to test drive a car she was interested in buying ended up having a gun pulled on her.

Police say the woman had seen an ad for the vehicle on Craigslist and arranged to meet the owner at the Omaha shopping center around 3 p.m.

When she spotted a discrepancy in the vehicle's title she asked the man about it. That's when he allegedly pulled a gun and demanded money. She told him she didn't have any and the man took off in a silver, four-door Pontiac G6, possibly a 2008 model.

The suspect is described as about 23 years old, 5-foot-6 with a slim build wearing gold wire-framed glasses, having reddish or blond hair/goatee, last seen wearing a red baseball cap, white T-shirt and blue jeans.
