Knife Wielder Robs Restaurant Owner
A knife-wielding man held up the owner of a Buena Park restaurant Monday afternoon, police said.
Buena Park police spokesman Terry Branum said the bandit was the only customer in the Tip Toe Inn when he pulled a knife on the unidentified woman proprietor and stole her purse, which contained $800 to $900, shortly after 1 p.m.
The man was last seen climbing a wall next to the restaurant in the 6800 block of Beach Boulevard. Branum said the woman was not injured.
