Many people dress up to ring in the new year, but a suit or tuxedo isn’t the typical attire for an armed robber.
Fairfax City police are trying to find the man dressed in a gray suit or tuxedo who robbed the Denny’s restaurant at 10437 Fairfax Blvd. at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police said the man walked into the restaurant and ordered a manager into an office. The suspect brandished a handgun and demanded that the manager open a safe and hand over money. The man fled through the restaurant’s back door after obtaining the cash. Police didn’t disclose how much money he got.
The suspect is described as white, about 50 years old, 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds. He was wearing a gray suit or tux, a white dress shirt and possibly a gray wig.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 703-385-7924 or Crime Solvers at 703-591-9477.
