Police look for McDonald's thief

An employee at the McDonald's near Davis Road told police Monday evening that someone stole money from a cash register.

The 25-year-old said that about 8:50 p.m., a man ordered and paid for two cheeseburgers, but when the register opened, he grabbed a stack of $5 bills. He then ran out of the Martinez restaurant and into the parking lot.

Police were still looking for the suspect Friday.
