August 27, 2014 (La Mesa) – A thief hungry for cash was foiled from robbing a Carl’s Junior on Parkway Drive in La Mesa, thanks to the actions of the fast food outlet’s assistant manager. La Mesa Police seek public help to locate the suspect.
The crime occurred shortly after midnight on August 18th. An employee called 911 to report that a robber had walked up to the drive-through window at closing time, brandishing a black semi-automatic handgun.
The would-be robber demanded money, but the assistant manager fled and told other employees to go into the freezer and call police. The suspect ran away and was not found, despite a search of the area by the Sheriff’s helicopter and La Mesa Police officers.
The suspect is described as a black male of unknown age. He wore a black mask and a black hooded sweatshirt with grey horizontal lines. He was thin and stood about 5 feet 10 inches tall.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the La Mesa Police Department.
