Overview

• Authorities say the after-hours heist occurred just after midnight on Sept. 15 as end-of-night cash was being handled in the manager’s office.
• The intruder is reported to have stashed a wetsuit and scuba gear, forced two employees into a corner with eyes closed, and, per sources, may have tied them up.
• Investigators list losses between $10,000 and $20,000 taken in under two minutes, with robbery and grand theft noted in official records.
• Released imagery appears to show the suspect spray-painting a camera; employees described a slim, 5-foot-10 man in tight clothing with a blue beanie, goggles, blue gloves, and socks but no shoes.
• Deputies say no injuries occurred and no weapon was shown; an immediate water search found no suspect, and Paddlefish reopened at noon as the investigation continues.
