KANSAS CITY, Mo. —An armed robber held up a popular restaurant at the Country Club Plaza over the weekend, with patrons still inside.
The employees at Gram & Dun at 600 Ward Parkway said they’re glad no one was hurt.
Police said the gunman sneaked up on an employee in the building’s basement about 10 p.m. Saturday night and asked where the money was. The employee opened the safe and the suspect grabbed the petty cash box and ran out the back door.
Police said they’re still trying to figure out why the gunman went downstairs.
Plaza patrons said it’s an example of why people can’t be too careful.
“I’m not surprised after all this stuff happening. Really, I’m not,” said patron Behnam Zakeri. “I mean, I’m sad, but I guess we have to be prepared.”
No one from the restaurant wanted to do an on-camera interview with KMBC, but the employees said they’re relieved that no one was injured and they hope the gunman will be caught.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
