A recycling facility was robbed last week when a suspect allegedly attacked an employee and demanded money from the facility’s cash box.
The suspect walked into the rePlant at 1000 North Rengstorff Ave. shortly before closing time on Friday, Oct. 16, at around 4 p.m. The suspect approached one of the employees, a 23-year-old Sunnyvale man, while he was counting the money in the cash box, and punched him in the head before knocking him to the ground, according to police spokeswoman Leslie Hardie.
The suspect pressed something up to the back of the victim’s head, which the victim believes was a gun, and then kicked him in the torso multiple times before leaving the facility with the cash box, Hardie said. The cash box contained approximately $600 dollars in cash.
The victim described the suspect as a 28-year-old light-skinned man, 5-foot, 8-inches tall with a “chunky” build, black hair and a mustache. The victim declined medical attention.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Mountain View Police Department at 650-903-6344 and refer to case number 15-6451.
Every criminal knows that the recycling center is brimming with cash!
I’m agree with Duh and am surprised he didn’t load-up on the aluminum cans as well.

Not that I condone the behaviour of the guy, but if he wanted to steal money, I’m not sure that a recycling facility seems like a good place to hit! I mean risk versus payout… It doesn’t make sense to rob a place that has such a lot amount in storage right?
