Robbers Trick Man Into Going Inside Bathroom: Arlington Police

ARLINGTON, VA -- Police are looking for three suspects after a robbery in an Arlington restaurant restroom.

Police were called to the unit block of N. Glebe Road at around 8:42 p.m. on April 28 to a report of a robbery by force, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.
