LANCASTER \u2013 Crooks were busy in Lancaster Sunday night. Three fast food restaurants were robbed at gunpoint between 7 and 9 p.m., according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The first robbery happened around 7:24 p.m. at Little Caesars Pizza at 43440 10th Street West.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo suspects walked into the location, one of them was armed with a gun, and they demanded money,\u201d said Sgt. Paul Pfrehm, Lancaster Station Watch Commander.<\/p>\n

Pfrehm said the robbers told the store\u2019s employees to put all the money in a bag. The employees gave the suspects an unknown amount of money, and then the suspects ran out of the restaurant on foot, he said.<\/p>\n

A half hour later, around 8:12 p.m., armed bandits struck Wienerschnitzel at 601 West Ave J.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey walked into the business through an open rear door and demanded a store employee put money into a bag,\u201d Pfrehm said. \u201cOne of the employees gave the suspects an unknown amount of currency, then the suspects ran from the location on foot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Subway at 805 East Avenue K was hit by armed robbers at 9:09 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey walked into the location, walked up to the counter and one suspect asked to purchase cookie,\u201d Pfrehm said. \u201cWhen he paid for it, the clerk opened the register\u2026 the other suspect then produced a handgun and demanded the money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pfrehm said the employee placed an unknown amount of money into a soda cup and handed it off to the suspects. The thieves ran out of the business on foot, he said.<\/p>\n

All three hold ups were done by two suspects with similar descriptions, but it is unknown at this time if the robberies were committed by the same duo, Pfrehm said.<\/p>\n

The thieves are described as two black males, wearing t-shirts and athletic-type shorts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have an age approximation on them,\u201d Pfrehm said. \u201cThere\u2019s no notation (on the police report) that they had on masks or that their faces were covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pfrehm said detectives are currently working the cases and much of the information is still preliminary. He did not know whether any of the restaurants had video surveillance or if there were any customers in the stores during the robberies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll be out canvassing and looking for witnesses today, seeing if anybody happened to see anything at any of the surrounding businesses,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re asking for the public\u2019s help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the armed robberies is urged to contact Lancaster Station detectives at 661-948-8466. If you would like to provide information anonymously you can do so by calling Crimestoppers at 800-222-8477.<\/p>\n
