Salt Creek Man 15 Robbed Last Week

A Salt Creek youth, 15, was robbed after staying at the Grand Central hotel. The hotel’s management is sued for damages by the victim’s guardian, but the case fails as evidence does not prove money was on the person or that the door was locked. The incident is the third in a series of similar robberies in the city, with prior cases at the Nu alona and Poodle Dog hotels involving guests who locked doors before retiring. Police suggest one suspect may be involved.
