TRYING TO GET SUBWAY DOUGH

Elyria – Using the old “I got a gun in my pocket” routine, a man walked into the Subway store on East Ave near Fuller late Saturday night in an attempt to rob the store.

The man was described as a black male in his late 40’s to early 50’s – beard – missing teeth (upper and lower) – wearing a striped shirt. When the man was unable to get the money he fled into the field behind the store.

Deputies from the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office along with Officers from the Elyria Police Department quickly set up a perimeter to allow Elyria K9 Handler Tom Baracskai and his partner Fokey search the wooded area for the suspect.

After a thorough search of the woods and the surrounding area Officers were unable to locate the man.

If anyone has information about the man you should contact the Lorain County Sheriff’s Department at 440-329-1212.
