Pleasanton police are investigating the second armed robbery at restaurants this month, although descriptions show two separate suspects.
The latest came last night at Domino’s Pizza on Santa Rita Road, not far from the Gold Chopsticks restaurant, which was held up Dec. 3.
A lone suspect entered Domino’s, in the 3100 block of Santa Rita Road at around 6:25 p.m., displayed a handgun and demanded cash. The man, described as an Asian or Hispanic man in his early 20s, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds, was last seen running toward the rear of the business with an undisclosed amount of money.
At the time, the man was wearing a black jacket and black running shorts.
Police set up a perimeter around the area and brought in a K-9 unit, but the suspect was not located.
The suspect in the Gold Chopsticks hold up was described as a thin black male, 18 to 25 years old. That suspect bypassed the register and took cash directly from the owner’s wallet before aiming a gun at the owner’s wife and fleeing the restaurant on foot.
Anyone with information about either robbery is asked to contact the Pleasanton police department at 931-5100.
