Big Island police are asking for the public's help in connection with the investigation of an armed robbery last week in Volcano.

On Nov. 9, Puna police responded to a reported robbery of two men who were sitting in a pickup truck in the Cooper Center parking lot just before 9 p.m.

The victims reported that a man approached their vehicle and pointed a handgun at the driver, ordered both men out of the truck and told them to lie face-down on the pavement.

He took the truck, personal belongings and an undetermined amount of cash. He was last seen heading east on Wright Road with the stolen vehicle.

The pickup is described as a blue 2001 Ford F-250 with a large white fiberglass fish box in its bed. Its license plate number is HBF 152.
