Armed Robbers Terrorize City’s Commercial Center
posted (May 31, 2018)
A few hours later around 4:00, there was another armed robbery on Albert Street, and it happened right next door to our studio on Albert Street at a recently opened restaurant called Nacho World..

The owner was behind the counter, when 2 men walked in. She was expecting that they would order food, but as soon as they got inside, one of them pulled up his shirt to cover his face. That told her that a robbery was going down - and that's when she saw that one of the men had a gun. Reports are that she immediately told them that she would not resist, and handed over the money she had, begging them not to hurt her.

The men escaped on bike with $300 in cash, which was money the business owners intended to use to pay bills due today.

All this armed audacity on "The Alberts" might have been foretold from last Friday afternoon when a gunman tried to rob a gacho vendor in broad daylight. One man held the owner at gunpoint, while the other guarded the backdoor. But, customers were around, so they fled the scene before making off with anything.
