Two men sought in restaurant robbery spree

Two Hispanic men searching for cash picked two burrito shops, among other restaurants, as their targets, Montgomery County police said.

One of the two men — both between 20 and 25 years old — walked into a Pizza Hut at 8607 16th St. in Silver Spring at 6:53 p.m. last Sunday, pulled out a handgun and demanded cash. He fled in an SUV driven by the second suspect.

At 8 p.m., they did the same thing at a Chipotle at 13501 Connecticut Ave. in Aspen Hill. They popped up again 24 minutes later a Lia’s Restaurant at 4445 Willard Avenue in Chevy Chase, where one suspect robbed a 23-year-old man at gunpoint.

At 8:37 p.m. they were holding up another Chipotle at 4471 Willard Avenue in Chevy Chase, but unlike the previous robberies, the employees refused to comply and the suspects fled empty-handed.

Anyone with information should call 240-773-5100.
