A 58-year-old Palm Coast woman was in her stopped car near the south entrance to Plantation Bay the night of Monday, May 2, when two men came up to her car and robbed her at gunpoint, she told Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies.

A deputy called out to the scene at about 9:13 p.m. found a Plantation Bay security guard stopped on the road at Aldenham Lane, near its intersection with U.S. 1, talking to the victim, who was in her car. Much of the deputy's report is redacted.

The woman, the deputy wrote in the case report, had a scratch on her left hand and a cut on her nose. 

She told the deputy that a man who appeared to be in his early 20s and was armed with a handgun jumped into her passenger seat and took her purse — which contained her wallet, change purses, a slide-style cell phone, a pill box and some keys — while another man about the same age grabbed her around the neck through the driver's side door and told her to "give it up."

She might have grabbed one or both of the men during the fight, she said. After they got her purse, the men left, heading south on Aldenham toward U.S. 1. She didn't recognize either of them.

The total value of the items they stole was about $135, according to the report.
