Two arrested in restaurant robbery also suspected in other Fort Worth heists

Two masked men ran from the back of a restaurant early Thursday in southwest Fort Worth, gripping cash from the business and a gun, but police were there to intercept them.

The two men match the descriptions of robberies in more than a dozen similar robberies, police said in a news release.

Officers, at about 7 a.m., responded to a commercial hold up alarm at the Braum's Restaurant in the 7200 block of South Hulen Street.

"Upon arrival, officers observed two suspects fleeing from the rear of the restaurant," according to a news release from Fort Worth police.

There was a foot chase, but suspects Shaquille Hunte (above) and Kamron McGruder (left), both 19 of Fort Worth, were arrested.

Both men face charges of aggravated robbery, according to police reports.

"Detectives are investigating 14 similar robberies and additional charges are pending in those offenses," police said in the news release.
