The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who used a handgun to rob a Subway restaurant on Hilton Head Island on Friday night.
Deputies were called to the restaurant on 437 William Hilton Parkway at about 8:45 p.m.
A worker said the man ordered a sandwich, asked where the bathroom was and stepped out of view. While she was completing the order, he approached her behind the counter.
He presented a handgun and ordered her to get the money from the register and safe. She handed over an undisclosed amount of cash. He ordered her to get on the ground, and he ran off in an unknown direction. The employee was unharmed, and no customers were present.
The robber was described as a black man between 25 and 35 years old, about 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, with a thin "chin-strap" goatee and mustache, wearing a black or dark-blue hooded jacket, blue jeans, a white baseball cap and brown shoes.
Anyone with information should contact the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 842-524-2777.
Gun shots reported off Buck Island Road
Several Pinecrest subdivision residents reported hearing gunshots Sunday night near Buck Island Road, Bluffton police Lt. Bryan Norberg said, and the Police Department is asking for information about the crime.
About 18 residents called the department around 11:30 p.m. to report the gunshots.
"We don't believe the shots were fired in the development," Norberg said, but from woods on the west side of Buck Island Road. "We've had shots fired in there before."
A two-hour search did not turn up any clues, Norberg said.
Anyone with information about the incident should call the department's Crime Tip Line at 843-706-4560.
Home robbery turns into shooting of Burton man
A 33-year-old Burton man was shot when he returned home early Saturday to find robbers in his home, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
The victim, listed as Deario Demon Young on a sheriff report, was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. His condition was not released.
Young arrived at his Billy Hill Road home just before midnight and discovered two masked intruders inside, according to a sheriff news release Monday.
The intruders demanded money. A struggle ensued, and Young was shot once, according to the release.
