Detectives are working to identify the robber who stole thousands of dollars from an arcade bar at 927 Woodland Street this morning after he held an employee at gunpoint and tied him up. The man, seen in the attached photo, approached the employee as he was taking out the trash at 6 a.m. and asked him for money.
He then produced a handgun and demanded the employee take him to the business’ safe where he stole the cash inside.
The robber then tied the employee to a chair with an extension cord and taped his hands to the armrests. He also cut several wires from the video surveillance system before throwing it on the ground and fleeing on foot.
The employee was able to free himself and call for help.
The robber is described as a 25-35 year old man wearing all black, except a red brim on his hat, and a neck gaiter. The employee told detectives he spoke with a New York/New Jersey accent.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
