The Hollister Police Department is investigating an armed robbery that occurred nearly a week ago at El Grullense, according to a statement released today.
Around 9:45 p.m. Friday, a Hispanic man carrying a gun walked into the restaurant at 900 Fourth Street and got away with an undisclosed amount of money, according to a police statement released Thursday.
The man, described to be between ages 20 to 30, was wearing a gray and maroon hooded sweatshirt and black or blue pants. He was holding a black semi-automatic handgun with a black glove on his right hand, police alleged.
He walked into the store’s south entrance and quickly approached the counter, according to police. He pulled the gun from his waist, pointing it at the clerk and demanding money.
He fled after receiving the money. There were no other customers in the store.
Detectives released a sketch of the suspect and provided pictures as well.
Police are urging those with more information to contact Detective Theresa Aguilera at 636-4330. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call WeTIP at (800) 78-CRIME.
