SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — An investigation is underway after a restaurant in San Diego's Mission Hills neighborhood was robbed Sunday night.

According to the San Diego Police Department, officers received a call just before 10 p.m. about a robbery in the 1800 block of W. Washington Street.

When police arrived at the scene, they learned that a masked man walked into the restaurant and approached an employee standing by the register.

The suspect then fled the scene on foot and left westbound from the restaurant. He was last seen wearing a black hat, green hoodie, cream sweater, black pants, white shoes, surgical mask, and gloves.
