Homewood McDonald's Robbed: Police

The robbery occurred Friday, May 30 at the McDonald's on 183rd Street.

A man claiming to have a gun—and a hankering for McDonald's chicken sandwiches—pulled through the drive-thru and demanded the cashier turn over the cash drawer, according to reports. 

The robbery happened May 30 around 9:45 p.m., at the restaurant located in the 3100 block of 183rd Street. The suspect had ordered a chicken sandwich, but decided to tack on another after pulling forward to pay.

When the cashier—a juvenile—asked for additional money, the man demanded she hand over the cash drawer, threatening that he had a gun. 

The man yelled at the cashier, stating, " I'm not (expletive) playing with you. I will shoot you."

The cashier handed over the drawer. The cashier told police she never saw a gun. 

The man was described as a black male, approximately 30 years old and 6 feet tall weighing 200 pounds, with "extremely smooth skin." He was driving an olive green Kia Sorento with no license plates. 

Police were unable to locate the suspect.
