NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – Deputies are searching for three men accused of holding up an internet cafe in the Callahan area early Thursday.
Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper reported that the three men were inside the Cyber Center on U.S. 1, just north of Callahan and south of Hilliard, around 2:45 a.m. Thursday.
Leeper said that after all the other patrons had left the internet cafe, the men pulled out semi-automatic handguns and robbed the business clerk of $6,500.
Following the robbery, the trio got into a small, black 4-door vehicle and drove off, the sheriff said.
Leeper described the three suspects as black males, each about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and appearing to be around 18 to 20 years old.
One of the men, with a slender/medium build and short hair, was wearing dark pants and a black hoodie.
Another man, with a slender/medium build and dreadlocks, was wearing a dark long-sleeve jacket and dark pants.
The third man, with a slim build, was wearing tight white yoga pants and a white long-sleeve shirt.
The armed robbery occurred amid a crackdown on adult arcades in Jacksonville. The owner of the Callahan property told News4Jax that while robberies may be common at Jacksonville internet cafes, they are rare in Nassau County.
Anyone with information about the identities of the suspects can contact the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office at 904-548-4034 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
