Miami Police are on the lookout for a suspect involved in an armed robbery at a local Burger King restaurant.
According to NBC 6, a gunman walked into the fast-food restaurant at 3051 Coral Way this past Monday around 9:30 p.m., jumped the counter, and headed straight for the back area. The suspect kept his head down to avoid clear identification by cameras.
Police responded quickly, but the suspect escaped through the rear door. It is not known how much money the robber took.
Miami Police told Short Order that they are pursuing a lead, although no arrests have been made.
