Summary
$2,500 was transferred from a woman's Venmo account after a man took her phone for about a minute in a Montclair parking lot and then fled, police said.
The suspect allegedly approached her near The Crescent parking deck, claimed he was raising money for a basketball team and showed her a website before she began what she thought was a donation.
Montclair police said the man appeared to be 19 or 20, dark-skinned, wearing a black shirt and black shorts, with twists or locks in his hair.
Police are still searching for the suspect, and the theft remains under investigation.
