$2,000 Robbed from Coke Delivery Truck

And while police have been keeping a tight lid on all public celebration areas, they can’t be everywhere, and those so-called crimes of opportunity are still occurring. One happened yesterday when a lone and presumable un-armed man robbed a coke truck of the day’s sales.

36 year old Michael Rowland, 36, told police that yesterday afternoon at 3:30, he was making a delivery on Sarstoon Street when a man came up from behind and struck him three times on the head. Rowland covered his face and heard the man knocking off the padlock for the cash pan which was inside the truck. When he turned around, he saw a dark skinned man riding off. He stole $2,000 from the pan.
