Woodland police are seeking a gunman who robbed a pizza restaurant after the eatery closed on Wednesday.
Police were called about 10:08 p.m. on that date to the Little Caesar's Pizza in the 1800 block of E. Gibson Road. The caller said they had just been robbed at gunpoint, according to a news release.
Though the store had closed for the evening and the front doors were locked, the robber was able to enter the store through an unlocked back door, the release states.
The release gives this chain of events:
The robber pointed a black semi-automatic handgun with silver detailing at the employees, and demanded money. The suspect also ordered all the employees to the front of the store.
One employee, who had her hands up, was told by the robber to put her hands down and act normal. One of the employees filled a plastic bag with an undisclosed amount of cash from both the register and the safe. The robber then fled the store on foot to a waiting dark-colored SUV, where he got into the passenger's side.
Police are looking for a white male adult, approximately 5'8" tall and 150 lbs., wearing a black, hooded, long-sleeved sweatshirt with a "Famous / Stars & Straps" logo on the front. He was wearing the hood over his head.
The suspect's face was covered by a bandana with an Oakland Raiders logo at the forehead. He was described as having "piercing blue/green eyes". The suspect was also wearing black gloves.
Police said the suspect's description matches almost exactly the suspect description from the robbery of the West Main Street AM/PM on Nov. 20.
Anyone with any information related to this case is asked to call the Woodland Police Department at (530) 666-2411.
