SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - San Diego Police are searching for two gunmen they said tried to rob two separate drive-throughs this week.
Friday, police said a masked gunman that tried to rob a Paradise Hills-area Jack In The Box. The suspect entered the restaurant's drive-through on Alta View Drive just before 7 p.m. and told a drive-through employee that he was there to rob them.
The employee said the man then flashed the butt of a gun tucked behind his waistband. The employee ran into the back of the business and the man fled the scene driving a light-colored, single cab, truck.
No money was stolen, police said.
SDPD described the man as white, clean shaven, in his late-20s, and wearing a black knit cap and black long sleeve shirt.
On Saturday, police said another attempt occurred at an Otay Mesa West McDonald's at about 5:30 a.m.
A man reportedly drove into the drive-through at 4350 Palm Avenue, brandished a gun at an employee and demanded money.
The employee ran from the window and the man fled the scene. No money was reportedly stolen.
He was described as a white, in his mid-30s, and wearing a white construction hat with a blue bandana underneath.
SDPD believe the man was driving a white, 2000 Ford Ranger truck.
