Knife-Wielding Robber Thwarted by Customers at Shrewsbury Coffee Shop
A would-be robber was stopped after some keen-eyed customers noticed him.

A robber might have made off with money from the cash register at Blue Coast Coffee Shop on South Street in Shrewsbury on Friday, had some quick acting customers not tackled him, reported NECN.
Thirty-two-year-old Joseph Kuntz entered the shop, armed with a knife, and demanded the cashier give him money. That’s when customers tackled him to the ground, and disarmed him until police got there. He was arraigned in Westborough District Court on Friday, said NECN.
