MILFORD, Mich. – Security cameras captured video of two men stealing money from a Taco Bell restaurant in Milford on Christmas Eve.

UPDATE: Serial Taco Bell robber in Metro Detroit arrested, FBI says

Police said a worker inside the building called and said two men had entered the restaurant and implied they had guns. No weapons were seen, officials said.

The man went across the counter and demanded cash, police said. After removing about $200 from the register drawers, the men fled through the front door, according to authorities.

He was wearing a dark-colored winter jacket, blue jeans and white tennis shoes, with a green hooded sweatshirt under his jacked and the hood pulled over his head, authorities said.
