HOUMA -- Police are looking for a suspect wanted for robbing an ice cream truck at gunpoint Wednesday night.

According to Lt. Todd Duplantis, a police spokesman, the robbery took place just before 9 p.m. on Rosemary Street.

Detectives said the victim, a 29-year-old woman, was riding through the neighborhood selling ice cream out of her truck when she was approached by a man wearing a dark overcoat, an orange hunting hat and a stocking over his head. The man pulled out a gun and demanded all the money in the truck.

The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and ran off on foot, Duplantis said.

Police were unable to locate the suspect, Duplantis said. They’re asking anyone with information on this case to call 873-6371.
