An off-duty police officer was held at gunpoint and robbed while fixing a flat tire along Indian Trail Road early Saturday morning.

Police said the 39-year-old constable was driving his black Toyota Fielder west along Indian Trail Road around 5:15 a.m.when he pulled to the side near the highway overpass to repair a punctured tire.

While attending to the tire, a white wagon of unknown make and model approached from the opposite direction and stopped nearby. Two men exited the vehicle, one armed with a firearm, and confronted the officer.
