A man displaying a handgun tucked into his belt loop robbed a Lincoln fast food restaurant Monday night before fleeing out a back door, according to authorities.
Police were called to the Wendy's near 48th and Van Dorn streets at about 10 p.m. Monday after the armed man approached the restaurant's manager, who was smoking outside, and demanded money, Lincoln Police Sgt. Chris Vollmer said.
The armed man, who remains unidentified, escorted the manager into the restaurant and took a money bag from the safe and cash from the register before fleeing, Vollmer said.
Police did not disclose how much money was taken. An investigation is ongoing.
The robbery marks the fourth robbery or attempted robbery in as many days in Lincoln. The three previous instances — dating to Friday night — were all residential robberies, and all three involved a firearm.
