“I’m just cleaning dishes and this one guy comes at me and wanted to hit me,” the worker said on the 911 recording. “I’m scared, ma’am.”
Captain Charles Barstow said detectives have few leads other than the surveillance video.
“Because there was gloves and a mask worn, not much DNA or anything to pick up from there,” Barstow said.
Police said the robber got away with a few hundred dollars.
Andy Koduro runs a grocery store and restaurant in the same strip mall, and said he’s warning his employees to be careful.
“It’s a safe neighborhood here. I’m shocked and surprised that guy was hit.”
