A man robbed a Pizza Hut on South New Hope Road in Gastonia in early October, and the Gastonia Police Department has asked for help with finding him.

The man initially went into the restaurant bathroom about 11 p.m. Oct. 7, said Gastonia Police spokesman Bill McGinty. He came out of the bathroom with a mask and hoodie on, left the restaurant, and came back in with a long gun, McGinty said.

"(He) robbed the place, grabbed some food and a drink, and leaves," McGinty said.

He left the restaurant on foot, McGinty added.

Police ask anyone with information about the robbery to call the police department at 704-866-6702.
