CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston police are looking for a man who robbed a Shoney's restaurant in Kanawha City on Tuesday.

Sgt. Eric Hodges said the man walked into the restaurant on MacCorkle Avenue just before 10 p.m. Tuesday, pulled a knife and demanded money from the cashier. He fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Hodges said the suspect's description is similar to that of a man who pulled a knife and robbed a Kanawha City 7-Eleven early Monday.

In both cases, police are looking for a white male about 6 feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds and wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.

Police expect to release surveillance camera video and photographs later today. Anyone with information about the robbery may call 304-348-6480.
