Armed gunmen rob Table 42 restaurant in Boca Raton

BOCA RATON – Police are searching for two men who robbed Table 42 restaurant at 399 SE Mizner Blvd. just after midnight on Saturday, May 5.

Arriving officers met with several restaurant employees. A female kitchen worker told police that two males entered the restaurant through an unlocked rear door. The police report said the suspects, both armed with black, semi-automatic handguns, pistol whipped the victim and demanded to know the location of the safe.

The suspects then entered the main part of the restaurant, where they ran into the manager and a bartender. Police said the manager led the suspects to the safe, opened it, and gave them the cash that was inside. The suspects left the restaurant through the rear door.

Police said the suspects may have fled the scene in a small silver car, which was seen leaving the area with its lights off about the time of the crime. The female employee was transported to Boca Raton Regional Hospital, where she was treated and released.
