A man wearing a black ski masked attempted to steal a cash register from Tonic on Friday evening, a University crime alert sent late Friday night said.
The e-mail said that the man entered the restaurant, located at the corner of 21st and G streets, around 7:30 p.m., stole a cash register and fled the building. He was followed by Tonic staff who recovered the cash register before the subject got into a car. The e-mail said that the subject may have taken $50 that fell out of the drawer during the struggle with staff members.
The man is described in the e-mail as a black male, approximately 6’3″, wearing dark clothing and a
ski mask that covered part of his face. He fled in a vehicle described as a gold-colored Ford Taurus with D.C. license plate DA8611.
