Police seeking ID of Myrtle Beach McDonald’s armed robbery suspect

Horry County police need the public’s help identifying an armed robbery suspect.

Police responded to the McDonald’s on 9595 N. Kings Highway along Restaurant Row around 5 a.m. Monday, where a victim said the restaurant was robbed at gunpoint.

The suspect fled out the back door, police said.

The suspect is described as black male, about 6 foot, heavy set, wearing a gray hoodie, black mask and gloves. He is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, police said.
