On Sunday at about 12:30 p.m., a woman whose image was captured on security cameras approached a customer service clerk at the Safeway, 5021 Laguna Blvd., and handed the employee a note similar to the one used in the Subway robbery.
However, the clerk, unsure what the note said because of the wording, left the customer service desk to speak with a supervisor, police said. The suspect then left the store and was last seen driving away.
