Two sought for armed robbery of New Market McDonald's
Feb. 15—Two people responsible for an armed robbery at the McDonald's in New Market Sunday night are still at large, according to a press release from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
The robbery occurred around 8:30 p.m. at the McDonald's at 11700 Morning Gate Lane when a man and a woman reportedly approached the restaurant on foot from the direction of the Woodspring at New Market neighborhood. The woman — described in the press release as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and in her mid-30s with a slender build — ordered a drink from the cashier. After the cashier opened the register drawer, both suspects brandished handguns and pointed them at the cashier.
