The robbery happened around 8:30 a.m. Monday at the Subway on Bicentennial Drive. Police said the suspect, a white man in a camouflage jacket, tan pants, black boots, and a mask, took as much as he could from the cash box and made a run for it.

The employee chased and struggled with him, but the robber was able to escape. The employee was able to follow him outside, and told police he got into a small, black sedan with two other men before fleeing.

The robber showed no weapon, and the employee was not hurt in the scuffle.

Police are still searching for the robber and the other two people in the sedan. Anyone with information is asked to contact Hooksett Police.

Sgt. Justin Sargent said that while the employee was unharmed, Hooksett Police would recommend anyone in a similar situation simply let the suspect go.
