Motel Robbery Attempt Flusters Guest

A man was lured into his motel room at the Super 8 Motel in Moraine on Saturday afternoon. The victim said a man and woman pointed a gun at him and tried to take his wallet, loaded with $6,000 in cash.

The man reportedly grabbed the barrel of the gun and pointed it down to the ground. The struggle moved to the motel bed where the victim claimed the woman tried to grab his wallet while the man beat him in the head with the butt of the gun.

The couple fled from the room in separate directions. The victim chased the woman on foot and threw his keys to a friend, telling him to chase the man in the getaway car.

Investigators recovered the white Chevy Celebrity with no license plates in Dayton but said the robbers are still at large.
