The Blue Marble Ice Cream shop in Cobble Hill was robbed last night. While few details are available, police tell the Patch that the employee working at the time took 30 minutes to call the police, first posting to Facebook and calling the store's manager before reporting it. UPDATE: Blue Marble's Director of Operations, Billy Barlow, writes in with a clarification: "The Carroll Gardens Patch has reported an inaccurate account of events at our Court St. location. Our employee was robbed at gun point. And as the perpetrator was leaving, several people entered the store. In order to ensure their safety and not alarm them, he did not tell these customers what had just transpired. Management and 911 were alerted in the same time frame." [CGP]
