Papa John’s Pizza Robbed In Springfield (HD VIDEO)

Around 8:40PM  Tuesday evening a man armed with a handgun entered Papa John’s Pizzeria on Memorial Blvd in Springfield and demanded money, according to Century 21 mansion 300Springfield Police.

Police say that after robbing the store the man went around the side and back of the building and robbed two employees. The suspect then escaped with an undisclosed amount of money and fled up the grass hill behind the store towards 17 Ave East.

Springfield police brought in a K-9 unit but we don’t believe the dog picked up much of the suspect scent, perhaps due to the wet weather.

The suspect is described as an African American male in his late teens or early twenties wearing dark clothing and a dark bandana 5’11 to 6 feet tall. The gun is described as a black and silver handgun.

In both cases the suspect was described as wearing a bandana. In the Goodlettsville robbery the suspect was described as wearing all dark clothing with a black bandana possibly fleeing in a silver sedan, according to a BOLO released in Robertson County.

At the moment Goodlettsville police are sharing information with Springfield Police to determine if it is in fact the same suspect.

No one was injured in the Springfield robbery.

This is a breaking story, look for updates but as we understand it at the moment there is no suspect in custody.

Anyone with information regarding these cases is encouraged to contact Springfield Police at 615-384-8422 or Crime Stoppers at 615-382-3799.

All information is anonymous and Crime stoppers will pay up to $1000.00 for information that leads to an arrest.
