Paddlefish Restaurant Robbed
Earlier today, it was reported that the Paddlefish restaurant at Disney Springs was robbed on Sunday night. At that time, not many details were shared which including whether anyone was in the restaurant or how much money was taken.
Paddlefish, like other Disney Springs restaurants and shops, closed at 11 PM on Sunday night.
New Details Shared
WFTV 9 has shared even more details on this ongoing investigation. It has been reported that the robber swam to Disney Springs wearing scuba gear and a wetsuit. It is unclear where he entered and exited the water. Once out of the water, the man then shed his wetsuit and scuba gear before entering the manager's office at the Paddlefish restaurant around midnight last night. At that time, money was being counted before being deposited into a safe.
No employees were hurt during the robbery, and the man did not show any weapons. However, two employees were forced to a corner and told to close their eyes. The report has been redacted, as at first the reports shared employees were tied up. Employees said he was there for about two minutes, and they called 911 once able.
Between $10,000 and $20,000 was stolen. It is thought that the man then put back on his wetsuit and scuba gear and swam away. He is described by the employees as wearing tight clothing and a blue beanie. He is described as slim and is approximately 5 feet 10 inches in height. The suspect is still at large.
Paddlefish resumed normal operations today, opening at noon. All questions regarding this incident are being referred to the sheriff's office.

Burgled, not robbed. You rob people, you burgle a building, which is what happened here.
This is a very unusual story. The robbery and escape is almost like a movie.
I really appreciate how safe Disney Springs is. Having the security at the entrance is very comforting considering how busy a place this is. Let's see what the police find out.
NOT ANY MORE TO FEEL SAFE AT DISNEY SPRINGS THIS IS PROBABLY JUST THE START!!’ Inside job perhaps????? If it was done one it will be tried again it’s a sign of the times considering the sorrowful events of last week and the amount of immigrants in America it is not a safe place anywhere
@Doris, Just stop.
@Doris, Oh come on, Doris. Stop fearmongering for five seconds. This was a burglary, not a mass shooting in a school.
@Nick, You are right youre correct the right to bear arms that is weapons of war as opposed to hunting guns is more important that childrens lives.
