Suspect steals gun from victim at valley McDonald's [View all]

PHOENIX - Police are offering a reward to help find a suspect who stole a gun from a customer at McDonald's. Police are releasing surveillance video of the incident to help solve the crime.

According to Sgt. James Rothschild with Silent Witness, the victim was placing an order at the McDonald's at Central and Southern. The male suspect came up behind him and stole the gun from his back-pocket holster and then fled the store.

The victim chased down the suspect, but the suspect then pointed the weapon at the victim, and then ran off.
