Gun-toting robbers struck last night at the Subway chain outlet at the Eureka Mall.
At about 8:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Eureka Police Department personnel responded to a reported robbery at the business, located on the 800 block of West Harris Street. Upon arrival, EPD servants were told by employees that two suspects entered the business, one of which displayed a handgun and demanded all the money in the register while shoving a sales clerk to the floor. The other accomplice was also shouting orders and demanding money.
According to a press statement by detective sergeant Patrick O’Neill, police were notified by another Subway employee who was able to slip away and notify police via the robbery alarm. Both suspects fled the restaurant with an undisclosed amount of money, and are still at large at this hour.
The first suspect was described as a white male in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 5’6″ and 130 pounds, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a ski mask. The other suspect was described as a Native American male in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 5’6″ and 130 pounds, with black hair down to his ears, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a ski mask.
EPD is continuing its investigation and plans to release further details; members of the public with any information on this case are asked to contact EPD detective Todd Wilcox of the Criminal Investigations Section at (707) 441-4300.
