The three employees complied with the demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers canvassed the area but were unable to locate the suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The weapon used was \u201cedged,\u201d though there was some discrepancy over whether it was a knife or a screwdriver, Linn said.<\/p>\n<p>The news release linked the armed robbery to two purse snatchings that occurred in recent days in Aspen\u2019s downtown core.<\/p>\n<p>The first of those happened about 8 p.m. July 3, when a man riding a bicycle grabbed a purse hanging from the back of a chair in the outdoor seating area of Kirby Ice House, 307. S. Mill St., according to the release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A nearly identical crime occurred just before 8 p.m. Tuesday, when a male bicyclist snatched another purse from the back of a chair, this time at Casa Tua, 403 S. Galena St, and kept riding down the street, the release states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three surveillance video photos accompanied the news release. Linn said the man pictured was seen Tuesday at Rubey Park just before the Casa Tua purse snatching. The man generally fits the description of the Casa Tua robber, he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the description of the armed robber \u201cis not inconsistent\u201d with the man pictured in the Rubey Park photos, Linn said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who recognizes the man in the photos should call Aspen Police at 970-920-5400 or text tips to 970-274-4128.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/news\/armed-man-in-disguise-robs-theatre-aspen-concession-stand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo taken from surveillance video released by Aspen police of the suspects.Aspen Police Department\/Courtesy Photo Photo taken from surveillance video released by Aspen police of the suspects.Aspen Police Department\/Courtesy Photo Photo taken from surveillance video released by Aspen police of the suspects.Aspen Police Department\/Courtesy Photo Show CaptionsHide Captions A man wearing a mask used a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1312272","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-20 11:18:16","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1312272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1312272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1312272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1312272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1312272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1312272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
