CLEVELAND — Police are looking for the person who robbed a Little Caesar's in Cleveland last month. Investigators released images of the suspect on Wednesday.

On October 7, as an employee was closing Little Caesar's for the day, a man knocked on the store window and asked to be let in. Thinking the man was a customer, the employee told the man to lower his hoodie and she'd let him inside.

The man took down his hood and came inside. Once inside, the man followed the employee behind the counter, pulled out a gun, and demanded money, saying, "I'm not going to hurt you, just give me all the money."
