A 93-year-old Tuskegee Airman was robbed and later had his car stolen, in two separate incidents on Sunday night.
Police said the man was a Tuskegee Airman in World War II. The airmen were the first African-American pilots to train and fight in the war.
The veteran was driving to his daughter's house in St. Louis, Mo., around 11 p.m. on Sunday night when he got lost. He pulled his over to the side of the road and called his daughter.
While the car was stopped, a man approached and entered the victim's vehicle. Police said the suspect took money from the victim's pants pocket and drove away in a black, older-model four-door vehicle.
The victim followed the car but lost track of the vehicle after a few miles and pulled over. When he pulled his car over at this location, he asked two men for assistance. When the victim got out of his car to speak to the men, they got into his car and drove away.
Authorities are looking for the man's car, a Maroon 2012 Honda Accord sedan with Missouri license plates "AA2K8R."
