closeWAKE FOREST -- Wake Forest police are requesting the public's help in capturing a masked man responsible for robbing the Wake Forest Pizza Hut, 12239 Capital Blvd., at gunpoint Friday night.
At approximately 11:45 p.m., a black male of large build entered the restaurant wielding a dark semi-automatic handgun and demanding money, according to a release from Wake Forest police.
