Robbery in north High Point

Just posted online is this disturbing item. If you live in north High Point like I do, you're very familiar with the intersection of Lassiter and Eastchester...

HIGH POINT — A 23-year-old man told police a passenger in another car robbed him at gunpoint while waiting at a traffic light Monday night.

About 9:05 p.m., Hayden Hicks was sitting at the intersection of Eastchester and Lassiter drives when a vehicle pulled up beside him, according to High Point police.

The passenger got out and approached Hicks with a small handgun. He then pointed it at him and demanded money, police said.

Hicks gave him an undisclosed amount of money. The man then returned to his vehicle and fled toward Guyer Street.

Police described the car as an older model blue vehicle, possibly a Chevrolet Caprice.

Anyone with information is asked to call High Point Crimestoppers at 336-889-4000.

This shows two things:
1) How extreemly SLOW our traffic lights are(he probably could've robbed a whole line of cars -with time to spare)

and

2) DON'T WAIT for ridiculously-slow red lights at late hours!
