The suspect in the Monday night robbery of a Subway restaurant in Exposition Park was armed with more than a gun, according to Los Angeles police. He used a green pool noodle.
Around 7:30 p.m., officers responded to a call at a fast food restaurant located in a shopping center near the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the 1000 block of West Martin Luther King. Witnesses described the armed robbery by a white male dressed in all black, including a black ski mask.
The suspect was armed with a gun and pool noodles, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman David Gullar said. He added that it was unusual for armed robbers to carry off pool noodles.
“That's the first time I've heard of it,” Cuellar said.
Kuller has no details about the pool noodle other than its color. The suspect stole an undetermined amount of money and was last seen walking east on MLK Boulevard, he said.
