Man In Scuba Gear Robs Disney Restaurant Before Escaping Into Pond

A man decked out in scuba gear reportedly robbed a Disney restaurant before escaping into a pond. Doesn't he know there are gators in there?!

This story has been making the rounds online and it's easy to see why. Robbing a restaurant is a risky move. Robbing a restaurant and then escaping into a gator-infested pond while wearing scuba gear takes it all to another level. WFTV reports that he stole thousands of dollars and a search for the individual is now underway. It happened shortly after midnight when the Paddlefish restaurant was closed to guests. WFTV says the man forced 2 employees to go to the corner of the room while they were counting money from the day and told them to close their eyes and tied them up. He ended up stealing between $10k-$10k, per WFTV. Thankfully, the employees weren't harmed and were able to free themselves. See a video report shared by WFTV Channel 9 on YouTube below.

They tried searching for him immediately after he went into the pond but had no luck locating him. The restaurant opened up as normal on Monday and there were no signs of extra security. The sheriff's office remains investigating the matter.

This is just wild. What would make you want to go in that water? There was to be safer and better getaways than that. You're risking losing all that money to a gator. I wouldn't want to end up in that pond. No, thank you.
