A businessman from the East Coast was robbed Monday morning in his Belmont hotel room, but several circumstances of the crime, including possible gunfire, remain under investigation, police said.
Officers went to the Motel 6 at 1101 Shoreway Road around 8:45 a.m. after getting reports that a guest had been robbed. The businessman said he was punched in the face several times by a robber who stole a laptop computer and a camera. However, at the time of the robbery, the victim had been in his room with a woman with an unclear connection to him. Belmont police Capt. Dan De Smidt said investigators are looking into whether the woman was a prostitute and said the man has not provided a complete explanation of her presence.
