(MANDEVILLE)---The search is on for the suspect in connection with the armed robbery of employees at a Mandeville drive-in restaurant, according to the Mandeville Police Department.

Mandeville Police Capt. Ron Ruple reports that the suspect is a white male, approximately 25 years of age, weighing 230 pounds, with short brown hair in a flat-top style. Capt. Ruple adds that he was armed with a handgun, wearing a black, Sean-John brand tee-shirt with gold lettering, blue jeans, and brown boots.

The robbery happened at around 1 a.m. on Monday, June 30, at a drive-in in the 4600 block of LA 22 in Mandeville. Capt.
