TRAVERSE CITY — Police are looking for a man who snatched cash from a local pizza restaurant.
A man went into Crusted Creations on 14th Street at about 11 p.m. Thursday and ordered a pizza. When a staffer briefly left the register, the man was able to open the cash register and take all the cash inside.
He rode off on a bike. The man was described as in his 20s with a thick build, shoulder-length dirty blonde hair, a moustache and a “small bushy beard.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Traverse City Police at (231) 995-5152 or Silent Observer at (231) 947-TIPS.
