FWPD: Robber Targeting Women At Restaurants
Reporting
Katherine Blake FORT WORTH (CBS 11 News) ― Police are searching for an armed robber who is targeting women at restaurants in Southwest Fort Worth.
The latest robbery was Tuesday night at Snookie's on South Hulen.
Witnesses say the robber had been hanging out inside the restaurant. When he saw two women alone outside, he made his move.
"I couldn't believe it. I could not believe it," said Laurie Blumentritt. She says he and her friend were talking on Snookie's patio when the robber surprised them.
"At first we thought it was kind of a joke," said Blumentritt. "We looked at each other, 'Are you kidding us?'"
He showed them he was serious.
"He held a gun out and cocked it," Blumentritt said. "He's like, 'Yeah I'm serious. Give me your stuff!' And then he took off."
A similar attack happened Monday evening at the Chili's on South Hulen. The victims say a man was sitting on a boulder in front of the restaurant.
As the mother and daughter walked to their car, he ran up behind them and pulled out a gun.
The women say he kept his finger on the trigger as he told them to hand over their purses or he'd shoot them.
"It's scary for someone to actually come out here, you're not thinking. You're just with your family."
"He should be put behind bars," Blumentritt said.
A third robbery happened Tuesday night Razzoo's on Bryant Irvin. Police believe the same man likely committed all three. His description is not detailed enough to release.
