An armed robber made off Monday night with a man's cell phone and his Burger King uniform, Mesa police said.

Court records indicate the victim was walking north on the sidewalk along Stapley Drive when he stopped at 10:52 p.m. to help a motorist who asked for directions.

The victim walked up to driver, who was stopped in the parking lot at 734 S. Stapley Drive. Police said the driver pointed a black semiautomatic handgun at the victim and demanded his property.

The assailant left southbound on Stapley in a black, late-1990s model four-door Chrysler sedan with chrome rims. The victim described the assailant as a Hispanic male, 20 to 25 years old with a shaved head, thin build and wearing a white T-shirt.

The victim said the gunman was alone in the vehicle.

Like the Baseline rapist and the Chandler rapist?
The comment was not directed toward a ethnic group but a commentary on how the laws of our country are being broken by people who are illegally in this country.
I grew up in Phoenix attended Maryvale HS and count many hispanics as my long time friends. Many of them believe the illegals have a negative effect on the economy, crime rates, wages and the life style we all have become accustomed to.
Would you consider these people racist?
By definition people in favor of their race illegally entering this country are RACIST.
As in its ok for Mexicans to break the law but not whites or blacks.
BTW some white people do speak pretty good spanish as I said I grew up here in AZ and spent countless weekends in Rocky Point.
So you might want to tell your brothers from south of the border that when they make crude remarks about women or racist remarks, that because they speak spanish does not mean the are not understood. Suggest removal of this comment
