WILKES-BARRE -- Police are investigating a Wednesday afternoon armed
robbery at Family Subs. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Police said a man entered the restaurant at 296 S. River St. around 4:30
p.m. and gave the owner a note that said "Give me the money." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Christina Dina, the owner, told police the suspect then put a small, dark
handgun to her stomach. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Dina gave the man approximately $60 from the cash register. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Police said the man fled the scene on foot westbound across South River
Street. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The man is described as a white male in his 20s, about 5 feet 8 inches
tall, weighing about 160 pounds with light brown hair. He was wearing a gray
hood, a navy blue jacket and sunglasses. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wilkes-Barre Police ask anyone with information about this incident to
contact them at 826-8111. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Police would not say if they think this is the same man who robbed the
Turkey Hill Minit Market on North Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday night. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
