MANATEE COUNTY - A man wearing a hat and a bandana over his face surprised a clerk at a picnic table outside Smuggler's Cove putt-putt golf course Tuesday night and forced her back into the business where he emptied the cash register, deputies say.

The robber ran away after the 10:15 p.m. attack. Deputies with dogs tracked the suspect's path from the rear of the golf course, 2000 Cortez Road West, to a nearby Chinese buffet, where the track was lost.

Manatee sheriff's deputies on Wednesday released photos captured from surveillance video at the business.

Anyone with information is asked to call deputies at 747-3011 or Crime Stoppers, (866) 634-8477.
