Tempe police are seeking the public's help to track down three fast food bandits who have held up six Subway and McDonald's restaurants since Sept. 15.

One or two of the robbers has arrived at opening or closing, pointed a gun at the victims and ordered them to the back of the store, said Molly Enright, Tempe police spokeswoman. They demand cash and flee.

They have hit four eateries in Tempe and two in Phoenix, and the most recent was 6 a.m. Monday at a McDonald's on the 1400 block of West Baseline Road, Enright said.

The suspect robbed the victims, fired shots into the restaurant ceiling, and left the scene in a white van with brownish wood-style panel striping down the side, Enright said.

"To date, no victims have been seriously injured despite the use of force and threatening victims with weapons," Enright said. "Tempe Police are working with Phoenix Police Department and other law enforcement agencies, but we need your help in apprehending these criminals before someone is hurt or killed."
