Taylor Denson had just picked up her dinner at Baker's Crust on 21st Street in Ghent when she found out that police were investigating a violent robbery.
"It's scary to think that anywhere you go you could be harmed," *1 Denson said.
Police say a Baker's Crust employee was robbed just after the restaurant closed for business last Thursday.
Norfolk police say the restaurant employee was bringing deliveries in and out of the back door when a man approached him holding a handgun. Police say that man forced the employee back into the restaurant and was followed by two other men. They say one of them hit the employee over the head, then they tied him up with duct tape. Police say that's when they stole his wallet and the restaurant safe.
"This is like a relatively good part of Norfolk, too. It's Ghent. I wouldn't expect anyone to get robbed out here," *2 Denson said.
Police say the employee was treated for minor injuries, but is fine.
But customers like Taylor say they are going to be more careful.
"Park closer to the front door, make sure I stay in lit areas, or that there is people around, just things like that to protect yourself," *3 she said.
Norfolk police say they are looking for three suspects in connection with this robbery. If you have any information that can help them tonight, call the Crime Line at 1-888-lock-u-up.
1. DUH!
2. Really? Ghent has a good part? I must have been visiting the "not-so-good" part the last 7 years!
3. Really? It sounds as if she has been to one of the "Protect yourself" seminars that the local LEA offer.

Friend of my brother. The comment doesn't surprise me in the least. LIberal's can be very naive.
