COON RAPIDS, Minn. (WCCO) -- A man is in police custody after officers say he robbed a restaurant in Coon Rapids Saturday afternoon.
Police say the 38-year-old suspect entered the Subway restaurant on Round Lake Boulevard just before 4 p.m. Saturday and confronted employees with a knife. He then took an undetermined amount of money and fled the scene on foot, while one of the employees called police.
