A gunman robbed the Round Table Pizza in Truckee on Thursday night.

The robber, who brandished a black semiautomatic handgun at an employee, left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect entered the Donner Pass Road restaurant about 10pm Oct. 22 just before closing. The manager was totaling the daily receipts and preparing the night deposit when the gunman approached him and demanded the money.

The suspect is described as an adult male, between 5-feet-8-inches and 5-feet-10-inches, wearing a black hooded sweat shirt and a skeleton mask that was described as having big black eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Danny Renfrow at 530.550.2339 or drenfrow@townoftruckee.com.

    I’ll be on the lookout for this guy! He should be easy to spot!

    He was probably late to the office costume party and forgot the food and forgot the money for it, obviously.

    Yeah Justn@ss, and he just “happened” to have a semi-automatic weapon with him, obviously.

    He was definitely concerned about gun control and what laws he was breaking and if the liberals had disarmed the employees so his work could be easier and it all worked well.

    Sure Justn@ss, and he heard that Reich wing moron, Ben Carson, was at the pizza joint signing his book and pointing to guy behind the counter for money; like Ben did at Popeyes.

    Rocks-For-Brains and his liberals are great at increasing the numbers of armed robbers by the tens of thousands and keeping the felons out on the streets and flooding across the open borders. It is working well, ask any criminal.

    Justice, you did read the article about how the NRA is one of the main groups advocating for law enforcement agencies to SELL unclaimed confiscated weapons to the general public, right?

    Also, I find it strange that you are making jokes about a not very funny situation. I’m guessing if the suspect had been identified as a minority you would not have been so flippant.

    Justn@ss. Just because you live in a bunker tokin’ on Reich Wing Crank does not mean that is reality.

    In California 2014, robberies were at the lowest level in 43 years, with 48,650 reported in 2014 versus more than 130,000 in 1992. Overall violent crimes: murders, robberies, rapes and assaults came in at 151,425, the lowest since 1976.

    During the same time period, California’s population nearly doubled.

    “Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems? Make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit—and then while they’re working and earning here, they pay taxes here. And when they want to go back, they can go back. And open the border both ways by understanding their problems.” Ronald Reagan.

    You can go back to reading Mein Kampf now.

    Psych 101…a sub routine, “It only takes the right perspective to realize, the only reality is subjective.”

    Oh yippee!!! Pizza and a gun show. Im sure the NRA thinks all the workers should have been armed so they could have had a big ol shoot out. That would have been alot more fun, more gore and more press. Maybe a death or two and, of course, the armed robber laid out on a slab. What a disappointment this robbery turned out to be…they only got away with money…
