Little Rock police say they are searching for a woman accused of robbing two sandwich shops in three days.
The most recent robbery reportedly occurred around 7 a.m. Tuesday at the Subway at 6701 W. 12th St.
An employee at that location told officers that she saw a male driver in a silver sedan just before she opened the store. According to a Little Rock Police Department report, she said she assumed he was checking the restaurant's business hours and went to the back to smoke after unlocking the front door.
A few minutes later, the employee told officers, she heard the door chime and walked to the front of the store. At first, she saw no one, she said, but when she approached the office door, she found a woman holding a steak knife and wearing a baby blanket across her face, the report states.
The employee said she led the woman to the cash register and opened the drawer. After taking an undisclosed amount of cash, the woman reportedly fled through the front door and got into a silver sedan with the driver the employee had seen earlier.
