Armed robbers run off with restaurant’s cash register
Armed robbers took more than cash from a restaurant in a south San Diego neighborhood Saturday night, police said.
They ran off with the cash register.
The pair hit Victoria’s Mexican Grill on Coronado Avenue about 9:20 p.m., said Sgt. Michael Tansey of the San Diego Police Department. One of the robbers carried a semi-automatic pistol and the other simulated having a gun under his clothes, he said.
The men grabbed the cash register and drove away in an older model, dark-colored van.
Witnesses described the robbers as black, in their late teens or early 20s, at least 6 feet tall and thin and wearing dark blue and gray sweat shirts.
