Armed Man Robs Taco Bell

The man is accused of robbing a Tampa location on Monday.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is looking for some help identifying a man it says is responsible for robbing a Taco Bell on Monday afternoon.

The crime in question occurred around 4:17 p.m. when a man walked into the 3803 W. Minnehaha St. store, showed off a black semiautomatic handgun and ordered the clerk to “give me all your money.”

The man, the sheriff’s office said, then took matters into his own hands, reaching over the counter and taking all of the money out of the register.
