2 men sought in armed robbery of Carl’s Jr. in Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach police are searching for two men who robbed a Carl’s Jr. late Sunday, authorities said.

Police responded to the fast-food restaurant at 8271 Warner Ave. at about 11 p.m. after receiving a report of a robbery, said Lt. Tom Weizoerick.

Two men wearing hooded sweatshirts walked into the restaurant just before closing and demanded money. One of the men had a gun, authorities said.

The employees complied and turned over an undisclosed amount of cash, Weizoerick said.

Police described one of the robbers as a black man in his 30s, 5 feet 3 inches tall and 130 to 150 pounds. The other was described as 6 feet tall and about 120 pounds.

No customers were in the restaurant at the time of the robbery, and no injuries were reported.

Similar robberies at a Winchell’s Donuts in Fountain Valley and a Carl’s Jr. in Laguna Hills were reported last month. It’s unclear whether the incidents are related, according to police.
