Police: Man robs Chipotle, takes burrito

A robber attempted to take money from the Chipotle Mexican Grill on Wednesday but fled with only a burrito, a police report says.

A man entered the restaurant at 3737 Merle Hay Road at about 6:30 p.m. He got in line and ordered a burrito, a female cashier told police.

When the man got to the cash register, he said he had a gun in his sweatshirt, opened a bag and demanded the cashier put money in it, according to the report.

The cashier told police she got scared and ran into the back room without giving the suspect any money. The man then grabbed the bagged burrito and ran out of the front door, police say.

"He got away with a $7 burrito," Des Moines Police Sgt. Raymond Carrington said on the scene.

Police are reviewing video of the incident, the report says.

Police have not yet identified the suspect.

No word on whether the burrito was chicken or steak.

The case is under investigation.
