Flagler County deputies are asking for your help to identify and locate a suspect who robbed a 73-year-old man on Monday at the Best Western Hotel on Kingswood Drive in Palm Coast.
According to detectives, the robbery occurred around 12:40 p.m. when an unidentified male in a silver 2003-07 Honda Accord approached the victim in the parking lot.
The victim told police the suspect asked if he was checking out of the hotel before telling the victim he was there to fix the television in his room. It just so happened the victim was having problems with the TV in his room, and believed the suspect was there to help.
The victim told police that he went with the suspect to his room, and once they entered he was pushed to the ground, at which point the suspect made threatening remarks and stole his wallet.
The male suspect is described as being between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs approximately 180-190 pounds and has greasy black hair. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans.
Surveillance video spotted the suspect in his vehicle, a 2003-07 silver Honda Accord with a cover or visor over the front of the hood.
