An armed gunman

got away with $1,500 in cash after targeting the Burger King restaurant

in Fayetteville early Wednesday morning.

The investigation

is ongoing although no arrests have been made, said Fayetteville Police

Lt. Tom Kirkbride.

According to

a police report, the gunman entered the restaurant with a black handgun

and confronted the store manager after 12:30 a.m. The suspect fled the

restaurant but it is not clear if he got away on foot or used a vehicle

to leave the area, Kirkbride said.

The suspect

was described as a black male, approximately 5'11" wearing a black

hooded sweat shirt and jeans.

The cash was

likely the store's evening deposit since the report indicated the suspect

took possession of a bag bearing the name of a local bank.

Anyone with

information on this incident is asked to contact the Fayetteville Police

Department's Criminal Investigations Unit at 770-461-4441.
