An unidentified man armed with a long gun robbed the Island Hotel on Alaihai Avenue in Garapan of $20 to $40 cash early Thursday morning, police said.<\/p>\n
The suspect was described as skinny, with white hair, wearing a pair of dark long pants with a black long-sleeved shirt, and a gray T-shirt wrapped around his mouth.<\/p>\n
A 26-year-old female front desk clerk told responding police officers that at 4:15am, she heard a vehicle with a loud muffler arrive at the hotel. The suspect entered the lobby holding a black long gun, which the front desk clerk described as looking like a shotgun with a gray small cloth covering the tip of the barrel. The suspect then handed the clerk a red plastic grocery bag, demanding money. The clerk handed over three envelopes, one containing $20 to $40 cash, and the other two envelopes containing receipts of the hotel\u2019s daily activities.<\/p>\n
The robber grabbed the envelopes and ran to the parking lot, jumping into the speeding car with the loud muffler.<\/p>\n
