An armed car robbery in Vicksburg Thursday evening ended in the recovery of a second vehicle that had been reported stolen in Jackson, said Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart.

A woman told police she was approached about 8:30 by three men as she returned to her 2008 Dodge Avenger at the Shell Jubilee gas station, 4747 U.S. 61 South. They took the vehicle at gunpoint.

The car was found this morning by Jackson police at Violet Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Stewart said, but a purse with $600 was missing.

The victim described the men as black and in their late teens or early 20s, said Stewart. He believes they are from Hinds County, and are not connected to a string of armed robberies in Vicksburg and Warren County in May.

Separately, while responding to the call at the Jubilee, police found a 2004 Chevy Tahoe parked there that had been reported missing earlier in the day from Jackson, Stewart said.
