PAIR ROBS MARY ESTHER BURGER KING
The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office is
investigating the armed robbery of the Burger King at 201 Mary Esther Boulevard
at approximately 9:45 Friday night. The first man went to the end of one counter
and pointed a black revolver at the manager. A second man then came in, leaped
over the counter, and indicated he wanted money.
The
manager gave them cash and they left the building. Several employees were also
inside the restaurant at the time, but no one was hurt.
The
suspect carrying the gun is described as a skinny black male in his late teens
or early twenties with a skinny nose. He was wearing a baggy blue shirt and had
a bandana over his face.
The
second suspect is a tall, skinny black male who appears to be in his early
twenties and has a short "buzz cut" hair style. He was wearing a long, baggy red
shirt, jeans, and had a black bandana over his face.
Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to contact the Okaloosa
County Sheriff's Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at
