Suspect sought in series of fast food restaurant robberies

Houston police are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect they believe to be responsible for a series of robberies by force.

Police say a man placed an order in the drive-thru of a McDonald's in the 5500 block of Lockwood, then drove up to the drive-thru window. When the employee opened the window, he forced the top half of his body into the window, took the money from the register, then fled the scene, authorities say.

Police believe he is also responsible for the following robberies:

The suspect is described as a black male, 22 to 25 years old, 5'07" to 5'09", 140 to 160 pounds, brown eyes, brown short hair, white tank top, and blue. The suspect vehicle is described as a newer model blue sedan.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Houston Police Department's Robbery Division at (713)222-TIPS.
