Police were searching for a suspect who made off in an armed robbery Wednesday with the entire cash register from a Subway restaurant on the city’s north side.
The suspect is described as a white man with sunglasses, a ragged blue sweatshirt and a red beanie, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Dana Cole said. One witness told police they saw him drive away in a white passenger car, possibly a Mitsubishi, with paper tags.
Police responded at about 4 p.m. to the Subway at 1839 N. Kinser Pike. Witnesses said the man had entered the restaurant and displayed a black semiautomatic handgun.
No customers were in the store at the time, Cole said. The three employees inside fled through the back door when the suspect showed the gun. The suspect then grabbed the entire cash register and fled.
Officers searched the area for cars and people matching the descriptions but found nothing, Cole said. They stopped one white passenger car with paper tags on State Road 37, but nobody in the car matched the description of the suspect.
Nobody was harmed in the robbery, Cole said. Detectives continue to investigate.
