Man holds up Elgin restaurant employees
Elgin Police are turning to the public for information after an armed man held up two employees of a restaurant Friday night.
Authorities do not have a full description of the suspect who police said entered Paul’s Family Restaurant, 1300 Lawrence Ave., at around 11 p.m. and demanded money from the two employees.
The restaurant was closed at the time and the two victims were cleaning when the crime occurred, said Elgin Police spokeswoman Sue Olafson.
