CHRISTIANSTED — A fast food restaurant in front of the U.S. District Court building in St. Croix was robbed of an undetermined amount of cash on Friday night, authorities said.
The 911 Emergency Call Center received a report of a robbery at the Subway restaurant in Estate Golden Rock about 7:43 p.m. on Friday, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
