Fullerton : Store Bandit Brings Along His Own Rope
A man with a gun tied up customers at a Fullerton bookstore and escaped with cash and credit cards, police said Wednesday.
The man entered the Book Cellar in Orangefair Mall and forced a customer to tie up the others in the store, Fullerton Police Officer Tim Beason said.
“The guy brought his own rope,” Beason said, “and he didn’t even do his own work.”
The bandit then emptied the register and stole wallets from customers, escaping with $241 and some credit cards, Beason said. He disappeared into the mall.
The robber is described as white, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, with blond hair and blue eyes.
