A take-over style robbery at a Seal Beach coffee house left some locals shaken Thursday.
The armed robbery happened at about 8:20 p.m. Wednesday at a Starbucks, 2311 Seal Beach Blvd., said Seal Beach Police Sgt. Steve Bowles.
Employees inside the business told investigators the robber walked in, pulled out a gun and forced several employees onto the floor, Bowles said.
After emptying the cash register the gunman fled on foot.
No was hurt and no customers were inside the business at the time, the sergeant said.
Nontheless, some residents were still very alarmed by the brazen crime.
"It's scary, especially because I live right by there and I'm in there all the time," said Seal Beach resident Lisa Edelmen.
The robber was described as Hispanic, 37-50 years of age, 6 feet tall and between 200
and 250 pounds, with dark hair and a mustache. He wore a denim shirt, black pants and
a dark knit cap, witnesses said.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Detective Gary Krogman at 562-799-4100, Ext. 1108.
