CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Chesapeake Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred in the 500 block of Kempsville Road.
Police say a suspect armed with a hand gun entered the rear entrance of Egg Bistro and demanded money. Lu Cabrera, an employee from a nearby store said that at first she had no idea why police were at the Greenbrier Shoppes complex.
“As soon as I stepped in and started doing my regular job, I look out the window and I see about seven cop cars parking, coming in and out,going around the area. I was just surprised, this just doesn’t seem like the type of area that would happen,” said Cabrera.
Officials say the armed suspect exited the rear entrance with an undisclosed amount of money. Cabrera said that until someone is caught, she’s worried for the safety of all the workers in the area.
“I don’t know how I’d react honestly that’s just a scenario that’s hard to put myself into, I’d be terrified. Actually now that I know what happened, it’s just scary, I’m really concerned actually.”
No one was injured during the robbery.
