Two men stole a car driven by a woman who visited the Berkeley Marina to relax early Sunday morning. 

The incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. near H’s Lordship’s restaurant, on the south side of the Marina. The 22-year-old Pinole woman had driven to the waterfront and had left her car for about 20 minutes. As she returned, two men approached her and one asked if she had a light. She reached inside her purse to get a lighter, and the man pulled out a silver handgun and pointed it at her. 

The man ordered her out of the car, a 1993 Honda Accord, and then threatened to kill her after she hesitated, according to Berkeley Police Capt. Bobby Miller. The suspect told her to leave her purse and cell phone inside the car, but she inadvertently kept the phone in her hand. As the two men drove away in her car, she used her cell phone to call police. 

The suspects were described as African-American men. The suspect with the handgun was in his early 20s, around 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 180 pounds. He was wearing a black windbreaker jacket and black jeans. The other suspect was in his late teens or early 20s, around 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 150 pounds. He also was dressed in all black clothing.
