Officers say no weapons were used and the suspect was seen driving off in a dark colored Jeep. The suspect did make away with cash.

"A lot of times people tend to talk about somebody doing something inside one of these places to rob them and get some money," Patrolman Ray Blake said. "So people tend to talk and people tend to let us know and help us out in the investigation."

Joli's was also hit up in the summer of 2011. The suspect pleaded guilty to robbery about a year later.
