FAIRFIELD, Calif. -- A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Fairfield Friday afternoon, according to Fairfield police.

A 45-year-old Fairfield resident was walking on Second Street near West Texas Street at about 1:30 p.m. when a car occupied by two males pulled up alongside her and then onto the curb in front of her, police said.

Police searched the area but did not find the suspects, police said.
