$500 reward offered for arrests in armed robbery of McDonald’s
The owner of the McDonald’s restaurant on Courthouse Road is offering a cash reward for information given to Gulfport police that leads to arrests of two people wanted in the Jan. 29 armed robbery there.
Jeff Descher, owner-operator of several McDonald’s franchises in South Mississippi, posted to Facebook he would give a $500 reward for “any information that leads to the arrest of either suspect.”
On Jan. 29, two people wearing dark clothing and masks walked into the restaurant with a handgun and walked out with an unspecified amount of money. Sgt. Joshua Bromen said officers responded at 10 p.m.
Descher said the restaurant employees were shaken up, but nobody was hurt.
Bromen said Gulfport detectives are still working on leads on the case.
