Germantown Police said someone called the emergency number shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday to report a pair of bandanna-wearing men were robbing a McDonald's about a block from the police station and officers arrived less than a minute later to find two men sprinting toward a getaway car they had left running in the parking lot, The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal reported Tuesday.
"They really didn't have time to finish the crime," Germantown Assistant Police Chief Rodney Bright said.
"This is really good police work."
