HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC (September 24/9:30 AM) – The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred at a Hilton Head Island bar Wednesday night. Just after midnight, Sheriff’s deputies responded to Reilley’s North End Pub in Port Royal Plaza (95 Mathews Dr) in reference to an armed robbery. Upon arrival, deputies met with the 31-year old bartender who told them that he had been closing the bar for the night when two men knocked at the front door. They told the bartender they wanted to buy a drink, and the bartender let the men inside. Once inside, both men allegedly produced a handgun and ordered the bartender to hand over the money from the register. The bartender complied, giving the suspects an undisclosed amount of cash.
The bartender says the men then demanded that the safe be opened. When the bartender told them he was unable to open the safe, the suspects allegedly tied the bartender up and took the keys to the bar. Both then fled through a rear door. The bartender was not harmed and was able to free himself from the restraints and immediately contacted 911. The suspects were described as black males between the ages of 25-30.One was wearing a brown shirt and blue jean shorts and had a mustache. The other was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black bandana.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact either Investigator Cpl L. Novak at 843-842-4111 ext 256 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 843-524-2777.
