www.privateofficer.com A security guard was robbed from behind at gunpoint outside an industrial plant in Longview early Sunday morning, police said.
Police said the robber surprised the security guard outside of Northwest Hardwoods in Longview along Industrial Way at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Investigators said the robber came from behind and told the security guard he had a gun.
Because the robber came from behind, employees said no one got a good look at the man.
Northwest Hardwoods is part of Weyerhauser Corporation.
A company spokesperson said the guard is a contract employee through an agency known as Securitas.
Police said the gunman stole about $25 from the guard and then took off on foot.
K-9 units searched the area but were unable to find the robber.
Workers down the road said they are often out at that time of the morning and never have any problems.
Brian Fudge owns a logging company and said the robbery is a concern and that he is now planning to beef up his own security.
“Well that’s what we’re working on right now — making our shop more secure.
We don’t want to be stupid either but since we’ve been here no one’s bothered anything, Fudge said.
Anyone with information about the robbery should call Longview police.
