Arlington County police are investigating an attempted robbery at a North Arlington restaurant Sunday afternoon.
Police were dispatched to Crisp and Juicy, a long-time Peruvian chicken eatery in the Lee Heights Shops on Cherry Hill Road, around 4:30 p.m. for a report of man jumping behind the counter and trying to steal sausage, according to scanner traffic.
“The male suspect was inside the business when he engaged an employee in conversation,” ACPD said today in a crime report. “The suspect then became irate and went behind the counter, shoved the employee and attempted to steal food items. Another employee intervened and a struggle ensued during which the suspect struck the employee before exiting the business and fleeing the scene in a white SUV.”
“No injuries were reported,” police added. “The investigation is ongoing.”
