Man Fakes Gun, Robs Mission Beach Subway Shop

Police are looking for a man who robbed a Subway sandwich shop Saturday afternoon in Mission Beach.

The man walked into the store on the 800 block of West Mission Bay Drive Near Bonita Cove shortly after 1 p.m. and demanded money, police said.

The man faked having a gun in his pocket, San Diego police Sgt. Thomas Sullivan said. The clerk handed over an undisclosed amount of money and the suspect, described as a man in his 30s, fled on foot, he said.

A similar robbery happened at another Subway last Sunday. The suspect, also described as a man in his 30s, in that case also simulated a gun to demand money from the clerk.

It was unclear if the two cases are related at this time, police said.
