Arby’s restaurant located at 5900 Owens Dr. was robbed Thursday night by a man who approached the counter and demanded money.
The employee behind the counter became frightened and went to the back of the store. The suspect then went behind the counter, removed an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and fled. No vehicle was seen in the get-away.
Pleasanton Police Lieutenant Brian Laurence said the robbery occurred at 8:05 p.m. Police responded to a robbery alarm at the restaurant within minutes, he said, and searched the area in an unsuccessful effort to track the suspect. Allied police agencies were also notified.
The suspect is described as an unknown race, dark skinned male adult; 19 to 25 years old; 5’5″ to 5’8″ tall; thin build. He was wearing dark framed sunglasses, a white hooded sweat shirt with multiple colors imprinted on it, and blue jeans.
Anybody with information about this crime is asked to contact the Pleasanton Police Department at (925) 931-5100.
Thank you, as always, for the good job of keeping all of us up to date on the good and bad here in town.
Please consider hiring a copy editor. Just one example, “and searched the search”
I love the pleasanton weekly. Thank you again.
No gun, no threats. Just a guy who took advantage of a milquetoast employee. Gives the local racist, William Tell, an opportunity to vent his fear and self-loathing. Time to move on.
Hard to believe there would be any cash in the drawer at Arbys.
Really? Hire a copy editor? The last time I checked, this is not The Washington Post! Be glad we still have a local publication with a journalist dedicated to bringing you such a timely story! He was probably gathering the information before you ever rolled out of bed!
Really Andrea? “He was probably gathering the information before you ever rolled out of bed!”???
He probably just read the Pleasanton Patch story that came out earlier.
AND before you start bashing this newspaper, remember, they don’t charge you for this newspaper or email.
A donation is voluntary! And I’ve seen plenty of mistakes in newspapers that I pay for and have copy editors!!
Smart girl ~ Make a run for it, the thief can bag his own money. Your life is worth more than the job ~
Take a lesson here kiddos. Run duck and cover ~ That’s what they used to teach us in school, to stay safe.
There must be video right?
WOW! We sure have a lot of crybabies in this town. Pleasanton Weekly by far is much better than the Independent and who cares if there a typos or grammar issues, it is FREE! Good job Weekly! Pleasanton should post an officer or a volunteer officer at the major intersections off the freeway during the evening hours. It would either catch or scare away potential criminals.
Maybe Big Yawn would like to man the fast food counter at night and be confronted by someone demanding money? And yes it probably is a dance around the issue. Have seen this before…
In my youth, Tom, I was a taxi driver for three years in Chicago, so I don’t need lessons on talking to all kinds of folks.
As to this paper being free, that’s a bunch of hogwash. See all those ads you’re forced to look at? That’s the price of looking at this paper.
So, Barb and BJ, I’ve got a proposition for you. You come over to my place and do yard work for me twice a month, and I’ll give you $50 … FREE! No strings, just come over, cut my lawn, and I’ll give a $50 for free.
The number of robberies occurring along I-580 in Pleasanton is getting completely out of control. Is anything serious being done about this? More police devoted to this than to hiding behind trees to catch small-time speeders? Better alarm system to get the cops there quickly enough to nail the perp? Businesses having better security? Profiling with stop and search(OK you crazy *ss loons can start screaming now)? Putting a 20 foot high wall around Oakland (just kidding).
I am thinking this is an inside job. The “frightened” employee went to the back of the store then the robber went behind the counter and took the money. I could be wrong though and go ahead and make comment about my writing. don’t give a hoot.

Anything particular about the circumstances of this robbery that make you suspect that it was an inside job? Or are you just suspicious about robberies of fast food places in general?
William Tell reminds me of a third grade boy, one with bad parents, who inscribes Nazi signs on the back of his school desk and thinks by so doing he is being cute. Most third grade boys grow out of this. William Tell shows a rather astonishing inability to have learned nothing from those multiple occasions when he has made a complete fool of himself.
Big yawn, ( mittens), you no doubt have experience with bad parenting. Driving taxi in Chicago doesn’t make you an expert in local law enforcement, so back to obamas hometown with you.
Hey Big Yawn! Re-read your post where you write, “and I’ll give a $50 for free”. Where is your copy editor! We all make mistakes, even you! If you don’t like the paper, don’t read it.
Your one perceptive comment this week (here, above, regarding my grammar) far exceeds what you ordinarily offer us. Ah, verbal dueling with the village idiot racist. How elevating!
Hey big yawn. Who’s forcing you to read all those adds in the weekly??? Great little local paper,sure beats anything else being delivered right to our doorstep and the price is right!! Good job p-town weekly keep up the good work, ignore the cry babies
Enjoying the commentary. Statistically crime has not gotten worse.
@Big Yawn – why not cut your own lawn? You seem to have a lot of free time. Maybe a little less time accusing people of “nazi” this and “racist” that, and maybe more time with your mower to work out your anger issues.
Why not cut my own lawn? Well, I do. But I’m hoping someone as dumb as BJ, Barb, Right, Cajones Grande, or Wm Tell takes me up on my offer. Again: I’ll give you $50 for free after you come over and cut my lawn twice a month. Just show up, bring your own lawn mower and clippers, mow my lawn, and claim your free $50 gift certificate. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to amuse myself by poking fun at the above mentioned intellectual midgets, who include Map — it’s ‘ads’ not ‘adds’ — who wants everyone to dumb down on his/her account.
Big Yawn certainly lives up to his, hers or its name.
The dummy curries off to try yet another name, this one George. Well, it should be ‘her’ not ‘hers’, George.
