A suspect is being sought in connection with an armed robbery that occurred early Sunday morning.

Police said a black male went through the rear entrance of Homefries Restaurant at 1417 Atwood Ave. at approximately 5:30 a.m. that morning armed with a handgun, and proceeded to hold the weapon to a female employee’s head and demand money. The suspect is said to have fled the scene with a large amount of cash, and it is unclear whether a vehicle was involved.

The man is described as standing six feet tall with short dreadlocks. He was wearing a black T-shirt, black shorts and white sneakers.
