On May 25, 2016 at approximately 2:30 a.m., an 18-year-old female (victim) was at a restaurant in 900 block of Henderson Highway with a number of friends. An unknown female began banging on the window demanding money. The victim alerted management; however the suspect female entered the restaurant and approached the table, allegedly grabbing the victim’s cell phone.
The victim pursued the suspect to the parking lot where a struggle ensued over the phone. The suspect was armed with an unknown weapon. As a result the victim sustained minor injuries that did not require hospitalization. The suspect was able to flee the area on a bicycle prior to police arrival.
Later that same morning police were advised of a residential break-in that had occurred overnight in the 100 block of Mossdale Avenue. Items left at this location were allegedly linked to the earlier robbery.
