Burger King Employees, Customer Struggle With Robber
Police were called to the Burger King restaurant on Highway 92 on Saturday just before 8:30 p.m.

Officers said employees and a customer struggled with the robber in an effort to keep him from fleeing the restaurant. The thief was able to break free and flee in a small black extended cab pickup truck, possibly a GMC Sonoma or Chevrolet S-10, which had visible damage to the passenger-side exterior mirror, police said.
Officials said in addition to looking for the robber, they would also like to speak with the Good Samaritan.
