A 15-year-old boy told Westerville police he was robbed at gunpoint while fishing at Alum Creek Park North, 221 W. Main St., at 9:25 p.m. Sept. 5.

According to police, the boy reported he was fishing when someone came up behind him and placed a hard object against his head, which he said he believed was a gun.

A man that the boy did not see demanded he hand over his wallet and then throw his cell phone and shoes into the creek.

Westerville Fire Division personnel recovered the shoes and wallet from the creek, police said.

Westerville police, aided by a Columbus police helicopter, searched the area but were unable to find a possible perpetrator, reports said.
