*By Daily Press Staff*

A man stole a Range Rover at gun-point Saturday night in a troubled eastside neighborhood.

Two people were sitting in a white 1991 four-door Range Rover on the 1600 block of Michigan Avenue around 10:15 p.m. when a man approached the driver’s side window and brandished a handgun.

He aimed it at the driver, and ordered the driver and passenger to get out of the sport utility vehicle, said Lt. P.J. Guido, a Santa Monica Police Department spokesman.

The two individuals complied with the carjacker’s order, and the suspect drove the vehicle — which police said had paper plates — south down 17th Street.

Police describe the suspect as a black male between the ages of 20 and 25, weighing approximately 225 pounds, and having a dark complexion. At the time of the incident, police said the man was wearing a black T-shirt.

Anyone with information about the incident should call the SMPD’s Robbery/Homocide Unit at (310) 458-8451.
