'I'll have a Light-Iced, Decaf, Triple, Venti, Non-fat, 3 Splenda, Extra-hot, Stirred, No-foam, Caramel Macchiato with Whip Cream and Extra Caramel, and all your money!'
On 10/01/08 at approximately 2am, the Starbucks at 5030 Rosecrans Avenue, Hawthorne was robbed by a male suspect using a handgun.
Employees just closed the store and were walking out when a suspect appeared from behind the bushes (on the side of the store). The suspect pointed a gun at the employees and ordered them back in the store.
Once back in the store, the employees were ordered to open the safe. The suspect took approximately two thousand dollars in cash and was last seen running out of the store. The employees were not physically injured.
Detectives are still in the process of gathering and reviewing evidence obtained from the store.
The suspect was described as a male Black adult in his late 20's, approximately 6'2 tall, and weighing about 200 lbs. He was wearing a dark jacket and jeans.

How can it be light-iced and extra hot? That's just silly.
