Tulsa Police are looking for the alleged robber who fled in a silver van from the Church's Chicken at 2555 E. Pine St. about 8 p.m.

Police reported the man entered the store with a handgun and pointed it at everyone, demanding they sit down.

The man jumped over the counter and told employees to give him all their cash and money from the safe, police said.

The robber pointed the gun at two of the employees' heads as he received the money and then left the store, "thanking everyone and telling them to have a nice day," police said.

Police are looking for the robber who eye witnesses said was a black male, between 6 feet and 6 feet 3 inches tall, 170 pounds and 22 to 26 years old.

Witnesses told police he was wearing a white mask, a gray hooded sweatshirt, black pants and black tennis shoes with white bottoms.

Police said he left in a silver, old van, which left northbound on North Birmingham Avenue.

Anyone with any information about the robber is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 596-COPS.
