Some guy attempted to rob my friend last night at the Danville Starbucks in Blackhawk, I believe. Fearing the individual to be armed with a knife, my friend handed over his stuff. Upon noticing that the weapon was a writing pen, my friend snatched his stuff back. I'm not sure if the police were contacted. Please be on the lookout and report suspicious activities to the police.

The Danville Police Department can be contacted at 925-314-3700, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and at 925-820-2144 on weekends or after hours. For emergencies, call 911.
