An elderly American couple have been terrorised in their room at the Pompano Beach Club.

The offender brandished a blunt object and demanded cash from the victims, a 75-year-old man and his 73-year-old wife, between 3.15am and 3.20am on Sunday. He then escaped with an undisclosed amount in US currency.

The man, described as 6ft, black and in his mid-twenties, was wearing a dark, hooded top.

The incident is the second violent theft at the Southampton resort in little more than a year.

A robber stole cash after threatening four female staff and the manager with a knife in December 2017.

Anyone with information should call police on 247-1744.
