A 2008 Chevrolet Silverado truck used by two armed masked men who robbed Nico's Taco Shop on the city's north side was recovered Wednesday morning.
The stolen truck with 22-inch rims was found before 9 a.m. on the street near North Los Altos Avenue and East Blacklidge Drive, said Sgt. Kimberly Bay, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.
No one was inside the truck, and no further information about the robbers was released. The investigation is continuing and detectives ask that anyone with information call 88-CRIME, Bay said.Β
The robbers entered Nico's Taco Shop on Tucson's north side early Tuesday morning and restrained three employees before causing damage and taking money from the fast-food restaurant, police said.
The robbery occurred between 3:30 and 4 a.m. at the restaurant at 2965 N. Campbell Ave., according to a Tucson Police Department Facebook post.
Once the employees freed themselves, they called police. One of the workers was assaulted during the robbery and suffered minor injuries. The other two workers were not injured, police said.
The robbery occurred when one of the workers went outdoors through a rear door of the business. One of the assailants approached him and led him back inside, said police.
The assailants then restrained the employees and damaged the restaurant before leaving with an undisclosed amount of money.Β
