Temecula, California

Authorities on Friday searched for an "armed and dangerous" suspect who threatened to shoot a man who was repossessing his truck in an unincorporated portion of Riverside County near Temecula.

Efren Rubiano Anaya allegedly pointed a gun and threatened the man in the 43000 block of Los Caballos at 9:22 a.m. Thursday , according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

When authorities arrived, Anaya fled on foot into the hills that surround the area, authorities said. No injuries were reported.

Deputies searched the area on foot and with a helicopter, not finding Anaya but recovering a small-caliber handgun. It was not immediately clear if it was the gun Anaya pulled during the incident.

Anaya was described as about 5 foot 8 to 5 foot 10 inches tall with a thin build, dark hair and a thin mustache. He was last seen wearing a light- colored shirt and blue jeans, authorities said.

"Efren Anaya should be considered armed and dangerous and extreme caution should be exercised if he is contacted," according to a department statement.
