Cambridge Police Seeking to Identify Reported Armed Robbery Suspect at Harvard Square Restaurant

The Cambridge Police are actively seeking to identify a suspect who reportedly robbed a local Harvard Square business of $340 in cash. On July 13^th at approximately 2:45 p.m., while an employee of a fast food restaurant located in the area of 1300 Massachusetts Avenue was assisting a customer, the employee opened the cash register to complete the purchase. The customer then pulled up the front of his shirt and showed what appeared to be a black handgun in the waistband of his jeans and demanded that the employee give him all the money.







The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 20 years old, 5’9” tall, thin with a muscular build. He had a tattoo on the inside of his left forearm that is believed to have spelled out “Loyalty” with some designs around it. He was last seen wearing a red baseball hat, blue polo-type shirt with white lettering on the front and blue jeans. 



The Cambridge Police are actively investigating this incident and ask that anyone who can identify this individual or may have information to contact (617) 349-3121. Those who wish to submit tips anonymously via phone, text message or e-mail, should visit http://www.cambridgema.gov/cpd/communityresources/anonymouscrimetips
