July 12, 2021
Police are searching for an armed man who forced his way through the drive-thru window of two McDonald’s in St. Louis. Just before 5 p.m., a man drove into the drive-thru at the McDonald’s in the 4000 block of Lindell pretending to be a customer. Once he got to the window, he pulled out a gun and forced his way inside. Police said he ordered employees to open the safe and stole cash that was inside. The next day, the armed suspect targeted the McDonald’s on North Tucker around 5:30 p.m. Detectives said he crawled through the drive-thru window and once again, ordered workers to open the safe. This time, he left empty-handed in his silver SUV with a missing gas cap.
