The robbery unfolded when a man entered the arcade and approached a 48-year-old female employee. He was armed with a small black handgun and wore a dark scarf covering his face.

Investigators have not released further details about the suspect’s identity or possible accomplices.
The search for the armed robber continues, with police relying on witness accounts to track him down. The distinctive orange bag with a floral pattern remains a key detail in the investigation. Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area at the time is encouraged to assist with the inquiry.
