There’s an active investigation happening at Paddlefish at Disney Springs at Disney World for being robbed after-hours.
According to Click Orlando, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said that the robbery took place after midnight on the morning of September 15th.
An “unknown man entered the business after hours, took some cash, and left,” according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
WFTV 9 says that the man who robbed them came up in scuba gear and a wetsuit and then jumped into the nearby water, swimming away after he stole thousands of dollars. Deputies said the man stored his wetsuit and scuba gear before walking into the manager’s office, which is where the cash was being counted and deposited. Some reports say he tied the employees up, and others say they were told to wait in the corner.
The man stole between $10,000 and $20,000, and the employees said that he left within two minutes. None of the employees was hurt, and they said the man did not show any weapons. Reports then say he put the scuba gear back on and jumped back into the pond. A picture has also been shown of the man spray painting a security camera.

So many things about this seem very strange to me. Why would he take off the wetsuit and how did he get it back on and rob the place in two minutes. How did he know where to find the money and the exact time that it wasn’t in a safe.
Maybe the frogman will write note to Levy/Disney saying he’ll return the money if they change the boat back to the Empress Lily.
