Woman held up

An armed robber held up the manager of a Marshalls department

store on her way to the bank Monday afternoon with the store’s

weekend take.

A male, described as being between 20 and 25, about 5-feet-8 and

weighing about 160 pounds approached the manager outside the store on

Beach Boulevard. Brandishing a small black handgun, the man allegedly

demanded he hand over the money. Fearing for her safety she gave it

to him, police said. The woman was not harmed.

Police believe the robber was hiding nearby and waiting for the

manger to leave the store, said Huntington Beach Police Sgt Gary

Meza.

The man was wearing a Dodger’s baseball cap, blue jeans and a red

shirt. Police do not know how much money he got away with.
