Masked Gunman Robs Jack in the Box, Impersonates Drive-Thru Attendant

A masked gunman made off with cash and personal belongings after holding up a Jack in the Box late Monday night. 

According to the Fremont Police Department, the suspect entered the Jack in the Box on 36848 Fremont Blvd. in Centerville around 11:45 p.m. armed with a small revolver and wearing a black ski mask.

During the robbery, the suspect ordered employees to lay face down in the kitchen area and, at one point, put on a drive-thru attendant headset and told drive-thru customers to standby.

He appeared to have inside knowledge of the restaurant’s protocols, police said.

The suspect was described as either a white or South Asian Indian male in his 20s, about 6-feet tall with green eyes. He was wearing a gray hoodie, blue jeans and black Halloween mask. 

"His eyes were very distinctive," Fremont police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques said.
