An armed robber on Tuesday got away with boxes of tile from a Mesa man who was in the middle of a home-improvement project.
According to Mesa police, the homeowner in the 700 block of north Miller looked outside to see a man loading boxes of tiles he had stacked in his circular driveway into a car.
When the homeowner confronted the robber, he pulled a black semi-automatic pistol from his waistband and pointed it at the homeowner.
The homeowner backed away and the man got into the passenger seat of the car, which drove away.
