DRACUT, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for a suspect who held up a pizza delivery driver at gunpoint before taking his car, money, and food in Dracut on Monday night, authorities said.
Officers responding to a reported armed robbery on 18th Street around 10 p.m. met with a 24-year-old man, of Hudson, New Hampshire, who said he was making a food delivery for a local pizza shop when a man approached him in the parking lot, pulled out a firearm and demanded money, according to Dracut police.
