Costa Mesa hotel robbed

A man, possibly armed with a concealed weapon, made away with an

undisclosed amount of money from a Costa Mesa hotel early Monday morning,

police said.

The man entered the lobby of the Vagabond Inn in the 3200 block of

Harbor Boulevard about 2 a.m. and demanded money from the cash register,

said Lt. Dale Birney.

“He acted as if he had a weapon in his pocket,” he said. Nobody ever

saw the weapon, Birney added.

The alleged robber then escaped on foot, he said. He is described as

about 6-foot-5 and weighing about 260 pounds. Birney said this robbery

was not related to aanother recent robbery at a different Costa Mesa

hotel.
