Police say an armed man robbed a Burger King in Washougal on Monday night.
The unidentified suspect fled on foot before officers arrived at the fast-food restaurant at 103 C St. shortly before 10 p.m., said Washougal Police Department Detective Kate Tierney.
Store employees described the robber as a white man in his 30s or 40s. He wore a green and gray zip-up jacket, faded light-blue jeans and a black beanie. The man was also wearing a mask that partially covered his face.
The man entered the restaurant, which was only occupied by employees, brandished a silver handgun and demanded money, Tierney said. The employees handed over an undisclosed amount of cash, and the man ran off, she said.
