Date of Occurrence: Tuesday, June 16, 2009, at approximately 11:14 p.m.

Suspect(s):

• Unknown race male, 5'8"- 5'9", 200 – 210 pounds, wearing a black shirt and blue ¾ length jeans, black mask armed with a baseball bat.
• Unknown race male, 5'8"- 5'9", 180 pounds, wearing all black, black mask, armed with either a shotgun or rifle.

Resume:  Late last evening, Troopers were called to the Burger King on Concord Pike for a reported robbery.

When officers arrived on the scene, they learned the suspects had just fled the scene in a black PT Cruiser.  A check of the area for the vehicle was unsuccessful. 

This investigation revealed the two suspects in this case entered the business via a rear door.  Once inside, the bandits displayed a bat and a gun while demanding the employees open the cash registers.  The suspects removed an undisclosed amount of money from the registers and fled the store in the aforementioned vehicle. 

It has not been determined how the suspects got the rear door open. No one was injured in this caper.  There are no surveillance photographs to disseminate at this time.  

Anyone with information pertaining to this case is asked to call investigators at 302-834-2660 ext. 6 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
