Man steals Whataburger order at knifepoint after failed card payment, Fort Worth police say
The Fort Worth Police Department said it's searching for a suspect wanted in connection with stealing a Whataburger order at knifepoint in late February.
At about 9:15 a.m. on Feb. 28, officers responded to a robbery call at a Whataburger in the 4000 block of E. Lancaster Avenue.
Surveillance video showed the suspect placed an order and tried to pay with several different cards, but all of them were declined, police said. Then, the suspect stepped away from the counter and returned with a knife in his hand.
Police said the employees were scared and moved away from the front counter to create space between themselves and the suspect.
The video showed the suspect pounding on the counter several times before going behind it to nab a bag of food. The suspect then fled from the scene.
