Police are investigating a theft of a tip jar from a West Bay restaurant by a machete-wielding shirtless man.
RCIPS officers responded to a report of a theft at the restaurant on Boggy Sand Road shortly after 2:30pm on Tuesday, 2 Jan.
It was reported that the man took the tip jar from the restaurant and walked off with it, in the company of a woman.
When a worker at the restaurant followed the man and confronted him, the thief then “took some cash from the jar, brandished a machete, and made off on foot, leaving the jar and the remainder of the money behind”, police said in a press release
The woman who had been with him was seen leaving the location in a Honda Civic. Officers later located an unoccupied vehicle matching the description elsewhere in West Bay.
The man is described as being about 5 feet, 8 inches in height, between 30 and 35 years old, of slim but muscular build, and brown complexion. His face was covered and he was shirtless, wearing a black backpack and jeans shorts.
The woman is described as being of light complexion, of “chubby build”, with short dark hair, and was wearing a long black dress.
