ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police are investigating after employees at the McDonald’s on Culver Road were robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday night.
Officers responded to the robbery just before 11 p.m. They say the suspect or suspects entered the McDonald’s while it was closing, showed a handgun, and demanded money. RPD says a suspect fled with the stolen money. None of the employees in the restaurant were hurt.
The gunpoint robbery happened across the street from East High School. Here’s a statement from East High:
