On Sunday night, Dec. 12, at about 8 p.m., the suspect described as a skinny light skinned male, with long curly hair, wearing a red shirt and short pants was gambling on the poker machine for about an hour. The suspect was the only person in the game room and he left the establishment about an hour later.
The poker attendant on duty saw the suspect get into a silver sedan and parked the car a few feet away from the establishment.
About five minutes later, the suspect returned with a dark cloth masking his face, and armed with a knife. The suspect demanded money from the poker attendant who ran away and called the police.
When the attendant returned to the game room, he discovered the front door broken and money stolen from the cashier booth.
