Police seek man who stole Xbox at gunpoint in Cape

No one was injured when a man pulled a handgun on another man in south Cape Girardeau and stole a video game console from him early Wednesday afternoon.

About 12:20 p.m., the suspect met with the victim in the 1100 block of Cousin Street to buy an Xbox game console, police said. When the victim showed the suspect the console, the suspect grabbed it and tried to flee, police said. As the two struggled over the item, the suspect produced a semiautomatic handgun and threatened the victim with it, investigators said.

The suspect took the Xbox and fled westbound through an alley on foot.

The investigation continued Wednesday.
