The Sacramento Police Department has released a video of a Sacramento pizza restaurant robbery.
Detectives are hoping someone will recognize a robber by the distinctive clothing he was wearing (see video below).
On Dec. 15 at 9:50 p.m., the suspect entered a pizza restaurant in 2200 block of 16th Street and walked behind the front counter where he confronted two employees.
The robber demanded money at gunpoint. The employees complied by opening their cash register drawers.
The robber stuffed cash from the drawers into his pockets and jumped over the counter to the lobby area where he dropped some of the money. The robber put the money back into his pockets and fled on foot.
The robber was described as a male black in his late teens, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. He was wearing a purple shirt and a black hoodie with a distinctive logo on the back. His face was partially covered with a black and white bandana.
