Police seek suspects in weekend Schenectady restaurant robbery PAUL NELSON Published: 04:45 p.m., Tuesday, August 17, 2010
SCHENECTADY -- A downtown Italian restaurant was robbed at gunpoint over the weekend, according to police.
Just before midnight Sunday after the eatery had closed, four men with bandanas and hoodies ambushed a female employee in the rear of Cornell's Fine Italian Cuisine, according to Sgt. Luciano Savoia, a city police spokesman.
He said the foursome, one of whom was armed with a shotgun, ordered the woman to the ground and searched the back office before fleeing on foot toward the railroad tracks with $250 cash and a cellphone.
Neither the woman nor another employee at the North Jay Street establishment at the time were hurt, Savoia said. The investigation is ongoing.
Cornell's closes at 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, according to its website.
Hmmm, could it be an inside job before liquidation?
For $250 and a cell phone? Nah, I just think it is the usual scum that plague the city! Great for business, huh?
