Employees of the Golden Corral restaurant were robbed at gun point late Sunday evening as employees prepared to close for the night.

Live Oak Police say the suspect forced his way into the back door, used handcuffs and tie straps to tie up the employees and then locked them in the manager’s office and fled the scene on foot with cash in hand.

LOPD Capt. Buddy Williams said one of the five employees was able to wiggle out of his bindings and free the others except the ones who were handcuffed. They immediately called 911.

LOPD Sgt. Keith Davis was the first on scene within seconds, assessing the situation. A tracking team was called in to assist.

No one was harmed in the robbery, LOPD said.

Law enforcement is still looking for the suspect, described as a black male between five feet ten inches to six feet two inches tall, wearing a dark, long sleeve shirt and dark pants, LOPD said. The suspect had long thick dreadlocks with a Rastafarian hat, and a large caliber black handgun with brown hand grips. The suspect also had with him a black duffel bag with a red diamond logo on the side, LOPD said.

Later that night a vehicle crashed into a semi on Interstate 75 south of the turnpike in Sumpter County and rolled over, but the driver fled the scene, Williams said. Found inside that vehicle was a wig believed to have been used in the Golden Corral robbery and cash believed to be from that robbery. Williams said the car was immediately sealed as evidence when a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper came on the scene and recognized the situation. The gun was not recovered in that car, Williams said.
