Police have released an artist’s sketch of a man suspected of robbing at gunpoint a Chili’s Grill & Bar restaurant in Concord last month.
The robbery occurred around 10:05 p.m. on Oct. 29 at 1501 Concord Ave., according to police.
Police believe a man approached an employee at the “To Go” register, brandished a handgun and demanded cash. He placed the cash in a bag then fled on foot toward Fremont Street.
Officers established a perimeter and searched the area but were unable to locate him.
The suspect was described as a black man between 22 and 30 years old, standing around 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a medium build. He had short hair, a thin goatee, tattoos on his neck and was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, white T-shirt, blue jeans and white Nike “Air Force Ones” shoes.
Anyone with information about the robbery or who might be able to identify the suspect is asked to call Detective Dave Ishikawa at (925) 603-5864 or (925) 671-3030. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the tip-line at (925) 603-5836.
