Tourist Robbed At Hotel Near Disney

A woman on her first vacation with her children was attacked and robbed at a popular hotel near Walt Disney World.

Investigators said Lorraine Ott was taking money out of a lobby ATM at the Royal Plaza Hotel in Lake Buena Vista when she was robbed.

"I have this knot in my stomach that just won't go away," Ott said. "To think I'd take my family on our first vacation and have this happen. I'm nervous. I have two kids here with me and I'm just nervous to walk around."

Ott said she had just exited a taxi cab when she was pushed and then attacked by the culprit.

She said there was no hotel security around during the attack.

The taxi cab driver told Local 6's Erik von Ancken that he thinks the culprit was watching the hotel before the robbery.

Sheriff's deputies are searching for a 2001 silver Honda sedan in connection with the robbery.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
