Photos Released Of McDonald's Armed Robbers
The masked suspects attempted to rob a Zephyrhills McDonald's early Friday morning.
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a little help finding two people it says are responsible for holding up a McDonald’s drive-through at gunpoint Friday morning.
The crime in question occurred around 4:33 a.m. when two masked suspects displayed firearms and demanded cash from employees inside the 34367 State Road 54 eatery.
“The employees fled to hide and when the suspects realized there was no cash register at the window they fled in a newer white BMW with a Bucs tag,” sheriff’s office spokesman Kevin Doll wrote in an email to media. “It is possible that these suspects are also involved with other robberies in the Tampa Bay area.”
