Restaurant owner’s screams scare off knife-wielding thief Share
THE proprietor of a Shannon Chinese restaurant has described how she saw off an armed robber who paid an unwelcome visit.
Cindy Lin was seated behind the counter at her restaurant on the night of Saturday, April 17, when the would-be robber made his move at around 10.10pm.
“At that time there were no customers here, no orders. I was sitting at the back of the counter, playing with my phone. A young boy came running in, he had a knife and he said ‘give me your f ing money’ and I saw the knife. I was screaming loud, trying to call the chef in the kitchen. He dropped the knife, I think maybe he was scared too, this was a young boy.”
