PASADENA -- A man used a knife to rob a check cashing business Friday, police said.
The crime was reported about 6:50 p.m. at a business in the 100 block of West California Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
The robber was described as a Latino man in his 20s, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds, she said.
After asking employees to cash a check for him, the robber walked around the counter and pulled a knife, she said.

He was last seen fleeing on foot.
