A woman sitting in her car near a gas pump at an Orlando convenience store was pepper-sprayed and robbed of $6,000, according to police.

The incident happened on Thursday at 2:09 p.m. at the Citgo, located at 520 S. Orange Blossom Trail.

According to police, a man approached the woman, sprayed her in the face and snatched her purse, which was located next to her inside the vehicle.
