“I think I will never forget that face,” were the words of Bacha, as he recounted the robbery that took place at Marley’s Restaurant last Saturday.
At about 8 pm, a dark-skinned man, believed to be in his 30s, entered the Old Parham Road restaurant and placed an order for a pizza.
“He order one pizza first, and then after he order one pizza, he calculate his money [and] say he want a next one. By the time I go to prepare the next one, he done open the drawer and he thief the money,” Bacha told OBSERVER media.
Video footage of the incident showed the man wearing a white and black cap and a red shirt, as he stood over the cash register. The man appeared to be conducting a regular transaction, until the employee turned around.
“I believe he take a chance because the girl was behind there. When me call the girl and she never answer, that means there’s nobody there, so he take a chance,” Bacha said.
