Brownwood Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at Sonic Drive-In located at 1500 Austin Avenue Sunday night at approximately 10:45pm.
According to BPD Sergeant James Kidd, the robbery occurred as the business closed and the last employees were leaving. One employee was carrying the night’s deposits the other was getting into a separate car. The victim went to her vehicle, which didn’t start initially, as two men approached her, pointed a gun at her, and demanded the money, Kidd stated.
Very limited descriptions of the suspects were available as of Monday morning.
“The gunman stated twice, ‘Give me the money’,” said Sgt. Kidd. “There were two men described as wearing all black, with black masks and gloves. One was described as 5’ 10” to 6’ tall and the other slightly shorter.”
Sgt. Kidd stated that when the suspects ran off, the victim yelled out to the male employee that she had just been robbed and he began to chase after the suspects; however when the victim told him not to because the men were armed, he stopped.
Police searched the surrounding area for the suspects; however they were not able to locate the two men who got away with over $2000, according to Brownwood Police. No arrests had been made as of Monday morning and police are continuing their investigation.
