The Juneau Police Department is trying to identify a suspect in a robbery reported Sunday morning, according to a release from the department.
JPD learned of the robbery at about 5 a.m. Sunday, the release states.
The victim told police a man walked into a business in the 400 block of Willoughby Avenue and demanded money. After the victim refused, the robber lifted his shirt and grabbed what appeared to the victim to be a knife. At that point, the victim gave the robber more than $500 in cash. The robber then left the scene on foot, and may later have used a dark-colored SUV to flee, the release states.
The victim said the robber stood 5-feet, 6 or 7 inches tall and was a white man in his late 20s or early 30s. The robber also had facial hair, the release states.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call JPD at 500-0600.

Probably because the only descriptions they have to go on are what is given to them by those who were there when it happened.
The suspect is just another
The suspect is just another OWS idiot that decided to cut out the middle man( government), & re-distribute the wealth himself.
I hope the criminal ends up
I hope the criminal ends up getting the help he seems to need--three hots and a cot at LCCC.

"...lifted his shirt and grabbed what appeared to the victim to be a knife."
Uh, what else might it 'appear' to be? A pogo stick? Beach ball maybe?

Video cameras
All liquor stores should have 2 video cameras - one facing customers from behind the counter to get a good look at their face and 1 mounted over the door facing the cash register to see people when they leave. Did this business have any video cameras? And maybe keep a limited amount of $$ in the cash register after normal business hours. Just some suggestions.
