The Raising Canes restaurant in Citrus Heights was robbed at gunpoint last weekend according to police.
Citrus Heights Police investigations Lt. Wesley Herman said Thursday that officers responded to Raising Canes on Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights last Saturday, Dec. 7 to reports of two employees being robbed at gunpoint. The employees were standing outside taking orders in the drive-thru area, and the robbery occurred shortly before 7 p.m., police said.
Further investigation into the incident revealed that a subsequent robbery of a Raising Canes location in Roseville is suspected to be connected to the robbery in Citrus Heights.
Herman said Citrus Heights Police are collaborating with the Roseville Police Department and that they have “some suspects” but no one has been taken into custody.
No one was injured or assaulted during the robbery, according to police. The incident is still under investigation.
