Police search for robbery gunman

Police are looking for a gunman who forced his way into a Newport Beach home Monday afternoon.

About 1:08 p.m., a man knocked on the door of a home in the 2000 block of Cliff Drive. When a woman answered, he pulled out a gun and entered the home, police said.

Authorities said the gunman was wearing a blue cap and a dark sweat shirt. When he got inside, he stole jewelry and escaped.

Police set up a perimeter but didn’t find him, said Newport Beach Sgt. Steve Burdette.

The woman was not injured and police have not determined the worth of the jewelry.
