Akron police are investigating after a strip club bartender reported a masked man robbed her at gunpoint.
The 23-year-old bartender told police she was in the process of opening the club on Wednesday in the 1300 block of Brittain Road, when a man with bandana over his face stormed inside and demanded money from the woman. She retrieved the money, and the robber ordered her to the ground. He then fled the scene.
According to reports, the robber is described as 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-10 black man, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with black stitching and dark sweatpants with cargo pockets. He had black tennis shoes with light trim and light-colored gloves.
The man got away with $265.
