Investigators were searching Wednesday night for a man who robbed a woman at knife point in Isla Vista, according to the UCSB Police Department.

The victim was approached by the suspect, who was wearing gray clothing, at about 8:45 p.m. at Camino Corto and Abrego Road, police said.

The suspect threatened the woman with a knife and robbed her of her belongings, police said.

He then fled on foot in an unknown direction.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department is investigating the crime.

Noozhawk Asks: What’s Your Question?

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.

Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.

We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.

The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.

Thanks for asking!
