At about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, a man entered the Subway restaurant at 1562 Barton Road, and robbed the cashier at gunpoint, escaping with cash from the register. The suspect is described as a dark-skinned Hispanic male, approximately 35 years old, approximately 5 feet, 3 inches tall, 160 pounds, with a mustache. He was wearing a black hat with a gray shirt, with the words "one source" printed on the back.  Shortly after 6 p.m., an armed man robbed a cashier at Yoshinoya restaurant at 2072 W.
